Preserving UNESCO-recognised Then singing in Vietnam

People in Vietnam’s northern mountains say that the old Then melodies have a special attraction. The preservation and promotion of Then singing is a major concern of Then artists. People’s Artisan Ha Thuan of Tuyen Quang province has devoted his life to singing and teaching Then.

Thuan recalls that in the past shamans sang Then at ceremonial rituals for families in the village.
