Vietnamese artists performed signature songs and dances of the country’s Kinh people and the ethnic minority groups – Thai, H’Mong, alongside those from the Central Highlands.

Highlights included the T’rung and “dan bau” (monochord) solo performances that featured Vietnam’s unique wooden folk instruments.

The “Vietnam Night” was broadcast live on July 29, in which “dan bau”, the indigenous Vietnamese monochord zither made from a dried gourd, was introduced to the local audiences.
