Impressive, captivating, artistic... are the feelings of many tourists when they first enjoyed the Ca Tru song "Hong Hong Tuyet Tuyet" performed on the stage of the Tourist Reception and Art Performance House at the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site.
Singer Thuy Quynh performs the Ca Tru song "Hong Hong Tuyet Tuyet" on the stage of the Tourist Reception and Performing Arts House at the Hung Temple Historical Relic Site.
The one who gives life to the performance is singer Thuy Quynh. As a member of the Provincial Art Troupe, singer Thuy Quynh came to Ca Tru by predestined fate. After Ca Tru was listed by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in need of urgent protection, she and many of her colleagues in the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism sent her to study and perform at the National Ca Tru Festival in 2014 and 2018... Here, singer Thuy Quynh made her mark as a young singer but with a resonant, deep, and bouncy voice that is very suitable for Ca Tru. After many years of diligent self-study and practice, singer Thuy Quynh can sing classic styles such as: "Offering incense - Hat giai", "Sending letter", "Bac phan" "Hat 36 voi"...
On stage, the talented singer in a pure white ao dai, elegant, sang and tapped the beat, each beat intertwined with the soulful singing, sometimes slow, sometimes fast, delicate, skillful, polished. In the melodious sound of the zither of the singer, the drum sound of the mandarin holding the chau, sometimes "flying geese", sometimes "mounting horses", seemed to praise the talent of the singer and the musician. All blended together to recreate an impressive artistic space, each song, sound of the zither, beat of the drum seemed to be imbued with personal feelings, stirring the hearts of the audience present.
Singer Thuy Quynh shared: “Ca Tru is a traditional performing art form that is very selective of its audience, with complex skills that require the learner to spend a lot of effort and hard work to master the profession, so not many people can learn it. In each performance, I always try to convey to the audience the full spirit of Ca Tru, not only the sound but also the story behind each lyric and each beat of the instrument.”
In singing Ca Tru, the main use is clear breath, the voice must vibrate to achieve a style that is both discreet and dignified. Practicing the beat is difficult, practicing the rhythms fluently and vividly requires a lot of practice, the singer does not need to use gestures but only uses the lyrics and the sound of the beat to express the soul of the Ca Tru song.
Ca Tru is an art form that has existed for a long time. Although it is considered a learned art form, having a great influence on the traditional music of the nation, Ca Tru has also had its ups and downs throughout history, and at times even faced the risk of being forgotten. With the efforts to express the feelings and sense of responsibility of all levels, sectors and especially of the artists and performers of this art form, it is gradually being accepted by the public.
Mr. Nguyen Kim Loc, a tourist from Hanoi, shared: “This is the first time I have seen Ca Tru performed live at Hung Temple. I am really impressed with the talent of the artists, feeling their love and efforts to bring this art form to the public. Through this performance, I have a deeper insight into Ca Tru and love Vietnamese culture more.”
With passion and enthusiasm, artists, including singer Thuy Quynh, continue to try to bring Ca Tru art to the stage in art performances. Singers like her always hope to bring this unique art form closer and more vibrant to the public and audience.
