Director Nguyen Tan Kiet said that in addition to rewarding and encouraging organizations and individuals who actively contribute to the preservation and promotion of the artistic value of Southern amateur music, the special art program with the theme "Southern amateur music - Shining heritage" will be a meaningful highlight to honor a heritage that has existed in the hearts of the public who love pentatonic music.
Because, the art of Southern amateur music is a Vietnamese folk music genre with a large area of influence covering 21 southern provinces and cities.
Don ca tai tu was formed and developed in the late 19th century, originating from ceremonial music, Hue royal court music and folk culture.
"At the 8th Conference of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, held in Baku, Republic of Azerbaijan, from December 2 to 8, 2013, the art of Southern amateur music was officially recognized by UNESCO as a representative intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
The program to announce this important event was organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in coordination with the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City and other localities in December 2013.
Since then, the Southern localities have taken turns hosting the Southern Amateur Music Festival. The first time was in Bac Lieu, the second time in Binh Duong and the third time in Can Tho city" - General Director Nguyen Tan Kiet said.

Mr. Kiet was the general director of the closing program of the first and second Southern Amateur Music Festival. Now, he is assigned a meaningful program to celebrate the 10th anniversary of UNESCO officially recognizing the Southern Amateur Music Art form of Vietnam as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity, so he is under a lot of pressure.
"However, this is also an opportunity for myself and the program crew to contribute our efforts to fuel the passion and love for the art of Don ca tai tu, a great and precious heritage of the Southern region" - General Director Nguyen Tan Kiet said.
The program has 3 chapters: Chapter 1 "Fate", Chapter 2 "Convergence and sublimation" and Chapter 3 "Shining heritage".
The special art program clearly depicts the formation and development process of Southern amateur music from the late 19th century to the present, especially this unique art form still exists and develops deeply and widely in the environment of modern urban life in Ho Chi Minh City.
The special art program with the theme "Southern amateur music - Shining heritage" will be a meaningful highlight to honor a heritage that has existed in the hearts of the public who love pentatonic music.

After 10 years since December 5, 2013, the art of Southern amateur music was officially recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Ho Chi Minh City has made many tireless efforts in preserving and promoting the value of this unique art form.
The program brings together many People's Artists, Meritorious Artists, amateur musicians, singers and famous singers and artists to participate.
In the coming time, Ho Chi Minh City will continue to promote activities to preserve and promote the artistic values of Southern amateur music, contributing to preserving and promoting the national cultural identity; calling for more support from social organizations, agencies, units and all people of the city to join hands to preserve and promote the values of Southern amateur music.
