Titled “Praising love of life, countryside, people, the Party and great Uncle Ho”, the festival aims to encourage the practice of Vi-Giam folk singing in schools while creating a playground for students to develop their musical and performing aptitude, thus helping preserve this age-old folk music genre.
As known, Vi-Giam folk singing has an extremely strong vitality. It not only existed in the past but has constantly developed in the hearts of people in Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces (Nghe Tinh).
Along with bringing the dramas to the stage, the authorities of Nghe An and Ha Tinh Provinces have also taken measures to conserve and develop Vi-Giam folk singing, such as organising Vi-Giam singing contests, bringing folk songs into schools and publishing documents, books, tapes and discs on folk songs to popularise and promote this art form.
According to regulation, some sectors at the festival comprise two clubs with two programs. Each club is home to 15 artisnas and actress. Some delegations participate into singing folk songs.
Each program is about 30 minutes. There are at least 20 minutes for performance of Vi-Giam folk song. Some songs praise love of life, people, countryside and the country. 10 minutes of folk songs relate to praising Uncle Ho, the Party and some renewing achievements of economy and society.
The peforming and summarizing night will be organized at 8.00pm on August 14, 2016 and broacasted live on HTTV channel.
