Hoa Lu is bustling with countryside music.

Currently, Thien Ton town (Hoa Lu district) has 6 residential groups, all of which have an art club. The maintenance of the practice and art activities is organized regularly, attractively, attracting much attention and positive response from everyone. In the art club, there are people of all ages, from children, teenagers to the elderly with many different professions.

Ms. Tong Thi Ha, a kindergarten teacher, is one of the young members of the Thien Ton Town Arts Club (Hoa Lu District). Ms. Ha has the advantage of singing well and dancing beautifully, so she is always the core of the team's arts team. Participating in the Mass Arts Festival organized by the Hoa Lu District People's Committee recently, the members of the club practiced continuously for several weeks.

The selected and entered performances are the Xam song; the dance song “Remembering gratitude to Ms. Vo Thi Sau” and the song “My homeland, my soul, my land and sky”. These are all songs praising the merits of our ancestors; the development of our homeland and country. In particular, Xam is not the locality’s strong point, but the members still chose this performance to practice and perform with the desire to bring richness and diversity to the program and create a new feeling for the audience.

Joining the Truong Son Village Arts Club (Truong Yen Commune) at the age of nearly 70, but the youthfulness and passion for music of Ms. Giang Thi Loan is not inferior to that of young people. Ms. Loan said: The members of the village arts club are very diverse, from farmers, workers, teachers, the elderly... Although busy and hard-working with farming, the members are all enthusiastic in participating in the arts team to make life more beautiful and meaningful.

Not only performing for the people on holidays and Tet, the village art troupe also regularly propagates the policies of the Party, the State and the locality to the people in the form of dramatization, which is very effectively received by the people.

Ms. Giang Hong Tham is the youngest member of the Truong Yen Commune Arts Club to participate in the Mass Arts Festival organized by Hoa Lu District. Ms. Tham is a freelance worker with a stressful job, so being able to participate in the village arts club and indulge her passion for singing makes her feel her life is balanced. Participating in the district's Mass Arts Festival, the Truong Yen Commune Arts Team performed the songs: Hoa Lu - Future Tourist City, Bong Co Lau and a Chau Van song.

"The art of singing Chau Van is not the strength of Truong Yen. However, for many generations, many generations who love singing Cheo and Hat Van here still sing with passion and desire to bring this art to the locality. To gather people who love singing Cheo and Hat Van to preserve and develop the art of singing Cheo in Truong Yen, in the activities of the art club, we still include Cheo and Hat Van songs for practice. At the same time, at art festivals, we always choose a Hat Van performance to practice and bring to the competition..." - Ms. Tham shared.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Yen, Chairwoman of Truong Yen Commune People's Committee, said: Currently, the economic life of the people of Truong Yen Commune has significantly improved. Along with that, people are also constantly improving the quality of spiritual life for themselves and their families. Currently, the whole commune has 16 mass art clubs, attracting hundreds of members to participate. With the establishment and very effective operation of the art teams, it has partly met the cultural enjoyment needs of the people, especially when they are the subjects of those art programs and performances.

With its responsibility, the locality also encourages, motivates and creates all favorable conditions for mass art and sports clubs to be established and maintained regularly, thereby attracting the active participation of each citizen. Coming to Truong Yen in the afternoon, visitors will feel the peace and youthfulness when immersing themselves in country music, performed by barefoot artists. Spiritual life is improved, people are more enthusiastic about economic development to improve the quality of life, push back disasters and social evils, and join hands to build a happy community.

Because of their passion and love for art, they stepped onto the stage and transformed into artists performing the most memorable performances.

The performances were carefully prepared and elaborately staged with content praising the homeland, the country, the pride in the ancient capital Hoa Lu with its thousand years of civilization; the people's steadfast belief in the Party and Uncle Ho; the spirit of labor, production, study, work...

Mr. Nguyen Manh Ha, Director of the Center for Culture, Sports and Broadcasting of Hoa Lu district, said: Not as sophisticated as professional art, but like a village dance, the clubs and mass art teams in the localities are very well integrated into the lives of working people in all the villages, enriching their spiritual food. Every year, Hoa Lu district has organized many performances and mass art exchanges, attracting a large number of people to participate.

This is an opportunity to encourage and motivate non-professional actors, musicians, and artistic talents who are actively working at the grassroots level; an opportunity for units, actors, and non-professional musicians to meet, exchange experiences, build and develop mass art movements in local agencies and units. Thereby, contributing to improving the spiritual life of the people, preserving and promoting the national cultural identity, contributing to the economic - cultural - social development of the district.
