Preserving and promoting the values of Nghe An folk songs (Vi and Dam styles).
(Baonghean)Nghe An folk songs are a rich and diverse art form with many melodies and chants that have been passed down and developed from generation to generation, spreading widely across different regions of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces. Nghe An folk songs have made a significant contribution to building and developing a progressive and distinctly national culture.
To contribute to preserving and promoting these important cultural heritage values, Nghe An Publishing House has released the book "Preserving and Promoting the Values of Nghe An Folk Songs and Ballads," co-authored by the Nghe An Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Center for Preservation and Promotion of Nghe An Folk Song Heritage.
