Besides, Xoan singing is also a place to preserve traditions with a rich treasure of music, poetry, folk dances with unique melodies and costumes that symbolize the cultural identity of the people here, contributing to enriching the treasure of Vietnamese national culture.

The opening of the art program was the medley of "Xoan festival songs - Dong Son drums - Xin Hue, Do Hue - Bo Bo" expressing the joy, excitement and enthusiasm of the Xoan festival, bearing the cultural and religious imprints of the local people.

Next was the Xoan fashion show by designer Phuong Ho with features of the traditional cultural beauty of the Vietnamese people, expressing the pride of Phu Tho people in this heritage.

The vibrant and heroic atmosphere is expressed through the performances "A Loi" and "Theo anh ve ban" with strong folk and contemporary colors.

Through these songs, we contribute to bringing the musical identities of the mountain people closer to audiences from all regions, eliminating the gap between the mountains and the plains...
