The Sound of Vietnamese Traditional

Follow

“The Sound of Vietnamese Traditional” offers a deep dive into the rich and varied traditions of Vietnam’s music, from refined court compositions to rustic folk songs and regional ceremonial sounds. This playlist spans the country’s cultural landscape, featuring iconic interpretations of “ca trù,” “hát chèo,” royal court music from Hue, and traditional instrumentals highlighting the dan bau, dan tranh, and dan nhi. Tracks like “Ly Ngua O” by Phạm Đức Thành and “Improvised Prelude in the Modal Nuance Bac” by Nguyễn Vĩnh Bảo and Tran Van Khé showcase Vietnam’s distinctive tonal modes and improvisational spirit, while “Concert of Gongs of Bahnar tribe” and “Ritual Music of Cham people” reflect the ethnic and spiritual diversity across its highland and coastal regions.

Featuring both solo and ensemble performances—from legendary interpreters like Huong Thanh and Phạm Duy to traditional collectives like the Hanoi Ca Trù Thai Ha Ensemble—this collection balances historical depth with a sense of place and community. Whether it's the meditative dan bau lines, folk dances from the Thai people, or the rhythmic calls of ceremonial chants, this playlist offers a cross-section of Vietnam’s sound traditions in their many forms, scales, and stories.
