Participating in this Festival, Nghe An delegation won a more modest number of medals than the previous one. “However, we are also considered to be a unit that has built its own identity through the content of the participating program. Unfortunately, the performances that were well received and highly appreciated by the audience in terms of content; the performances with the folk music of Nghe An mountains that were expected to win medals did not win any awards.” - Musician Quoc Chung - Deputy Director of the Provincial Ethnic Song and Dance Troupe said.
