Vietnamese artists performed signature songs and dances of the country’s Kinh people and ethnic minority groups – Thai, H’Mong and those from Central Highlands. Highlights were T’rung and “dan bau” (monochord) solo performances that featured Vietnam’s unique wooden-made folk instruments.
The “Vietnam Night” was broadcast live on July 29 where “dan bau”, Vietnam indigenous monochord zither made from a dried gourd, was introduced to the local audiences.
