The program includes diverse performances of Vi and Giam folk songs, imbued with deep lyricism, interspersed with short reports and on-stage exchanges, divided into 3 parts:
Part 1 - "Sediments of Nghe An" affirms that Nghe Tinh is a land of important strategic position, which has been depositing cultural and historical sediments over time since ancient times. The source of Vi and Giam is crystallized from labor, production, from the process of fighting with nature and wild enemies, from the love, intelligence and talent of the people here. Vi and Giam are unique because of their language and performance; because the melodies are associated with the rhythm of life in the countryside, which is sunny and rainy but full of strong will; rustic but subtle; simple but smooth; optimistic, poignant but full of depth and passion...
Part 2 - "Heritage Journey" emphasizes that 10 years after being recognized by UNESCO as a Representative Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Vi and Giam has increasingly demonstrated its strong vitality through the efforts to preserve and promote the value of all levels, sectors, artisans, artists, and folk song clubs. Vi and Giam songs today are not only sung in the fields, bamboo banks, thatched roofs, and flying over children's hammocks, but are actually quietly spreading through the roofs and passed down through generations. Vi and Giam folk songs are present in many spaces, connecting with eco-tourism, bringing the songs to fly far and wide.
Part 3 - "Let the source flow forever" affirms that the folk songs of the homeland are now not only priceless spiritual products, but also ambassadors to attract tourists; they are the unique culture of Nghe An, but the folk songs have reached the level of human quintessence. Proud of the tradition of the Hong Lam land, today, connecting "the two banks of folk songs" is also once again the people of Nghe An are imbued with the sentiments of the past, to add more motivation on the long journey to the future, in the heritage journey.
