In recent years, the mass cultural and artistic movement of Tan Son district has been taking place vigorously with many clubs, teams and groups being established. This model not only contributes to enriching the spiritual life of the people but also spreads and fuels the passion for national cultural values of ethnic minorities.
Members of the Kim Thuong Commune Folk Culture and Arts Club practice traditional singing and dancing of the Muong ethnic group.
Every time there is a big local event or on holidays or Tet, at the Kim Thuong Commune Community House, there are songs and dances such as: Vi singing, Rang singing, moi dancing, xoe dancing, Sinh Tien dancing, dam duong, touch ong, gongs... by members of the commune's folk culture and arts club.
Ms. Sa Thi Tam - President of the Elderly Association, Head of the Kim Thuong Commune Folk Culture and Arts Club said: “The club was established in 2019, initially with 40 members, now with 60 members. After being established, we researched and collected cultural characteristics of the Muong people to practice and perform. To operate effectively, the club is divided into 4 groups, setting out specific regulations, thereby creating awareness and responsibility for the members. The highlight of the club's activities is the restoration of gong performances - this is one of the very old traditional art forms of the Muong people. In addition, the club has also proactively pioneered the restoration of brocade weaving, teaching many young generations of women and youth, which is highly appreciated by the Party Committees, authorities and people".
Ms. Ha Thi Thao - 35 years old, a member of the club said: Vi singing, Rang singing and the sounds of traditional musical instruments have been ingrained in my soul since I was a child. Encouraged by my family and Mrs. Sa Thi Tam, I joined the club when I was 18 years old. Through activities, I have had many opportunities to learn and demonstrate my talents, and have a deep understanding of the meaning of each art form. Now, every time I go to exchange and perform for my fellow countrymen or in front of tourists from all over the world, I am always confident, proud, and want to bring the singing and dancing - the identity of my homeland - to promote everywhere.
Ms. Ha Thi Tien is a Muong in Kiet Son commune who has always been passionate about arts since childhood, so she was determined to learn the ancient melodies of Vi and Rang singing... As the head of the commune's folk club, she regularly connects with the art clubs of communes in Tan Son and Thanh Son districts and some highland communes of provinces such as Tuyen Quang, Son La, Hoa Binh to learn and exchange experiences, and collect traditional cultural values of ethnic minority areas. In addition, she is also a pioneer in participating in training courses to guide and practice traditional cultural heritages such as Vi and Rang singing, Cham Duong singing... for thousands of students inside and outside Tan Son district.
Ms. Ha Thi Tien said: “The club currently has 40 members, with different ages from 32 to 70 years old. Club members are always ready and willing to spend the whole day practicing and filming promotional videos on media and social networks. The club not only performs for major local events, but also participates in performances at the Hung Temple Festival and some festivals in other localities outside the province. Every time we perform, we are very careful in choosing songs, costumes, and props to increase the attractiveness for the audience.”
Comrade Cu Thi Thu Hang - Head of the Department of Culture and Information of Tan Son district said: Currently, in the district, there are 183 folk culture and art clubs with over 3,000 members in the following types: Cham Duong, Vi singing, Rang singing, Chuong dancing, Ong dancing, Muong scarf dancing, Kep dancing, Sinh Tien dancing; Lap Tinh, Khen dancing, Gongs, Xoan singing... This is the core force in developing folk culture and art at the grassroots level. The clubs not only preserve the cultural values of ethnic groups, including the Muong ethnic group, but are also meaningful activities, contributing to attracting and creating a good impression on the people and tourists from all over the world about the people and land rich in identity and traditional culture of Tan Son.
