(Baonghean) On the morning of April 12th, under the chairmanship of Mr. Nguyen Xuan Duong - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the Provincial People's Committee held a meeting of the Organizing Committee to implement the plan for the 2012 Nghe An Folk Song and Traditional Music Festival.

This is the first time the Nghe An folk song, vi, and dam festival has been jointly organized by Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces to continue preserving and promoting the inherent values ​​of the folk songs, vi, and dam performances of Nghe An; aiming to prepare a dossier to submit to UNESCO for recognition as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

The festival will be held at three levels: the district, city, and town level will take place from April 19th to May 10th; the cluster level will be held from May 24th to June 6th; and the provincial level will be held from June 16th to June 18th. The opening ceremony will be broadcast live on VTV, VTC, NTV, Ha Tinh Television and some other localities starting at 8 PM on June 16th, at Ho Chi Minh Square.

The program of folk song performances and exchanges will be held at several locations including Ho Chi Minh Square, Vinh City; Kim Lien Stadium, Nam Dan District; Binh Minh Square, Cua Lo Town and Nghi Xuan District, Ha Tinh Province.

At the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Xuan Duong assigned specific tasks to each member of the Organizing Committee, requesting that members demonstrate a sense of responsibility in carrying out their duties to ensure the festival's success and create a positive impression on guests and people nationwide and abroad. This would help ensure that the folk songs, "ví," and "dặm" of Nghe An province are soon recognized by UNESCO as a world intangible cultural heritage.
