The Deputy Minister stated that the opening program of the Then singing and Tinh musical instrument art festival of the Tay, Nung and Thai ethnic groups this year is associated with the opening program of the National Great Unity Week - Vietnam's cultural heritage, therefore, the art performances in the program need to be carefully selected, with highlights, choosing the most valuable details to both demonstrate the great solidarity value of the ethnic groups and demonstrate the characteristics in the art culture of Then singing and Tinh musical instruments. The commentary and images must be suitable for the performance, clearly depicting the regional cultural imprints of the provinces and cities participating in the Festival. In particular, the art program must have the participation of performing artists, promoting the role of the cultural subjects of ethnic minorities. The work of practicing, reviewing images and sounds is taking place seriously, urgently, and on schedule./.
