Organised by the Huong Sac Viet Nam – Au Chau (Vietnam's charm in Europe) Association, the event brought together Vietnamese and French singers, musicians and performers, creating a cultural journey through various regions of Vietnam.
It featured traditional melodies such as the ‘dan tinh’ (a kind of musical instrument) and 'then' singing of the Tay ethnic group, Quan ho (love duet) folk songs from Bac Ninh, as well as northern and southern Vietnamese folk music, 'cai luong' (reformed opera) excerpts and well-known songs celebrating the homeland, spring and love.
Dance performances and a traditional ‘ao dai’ (traditional Vietnamese dress) show further enriched the event, creating a colorful cultural panorama reflecting the unique heritage of Vietnam’s different regions.
Alain Vu Duc Hoang Mi, President of the Huong Sac Viet Nam – Au Chau Association, said the programme aims to introduce and promote Vietnamese culture to the international community living and working in Paris.
Founded in France on January 21, 2016, the association seeks to spread Vietnamese cultural identity across Europe and strengthen cultural exchanges with international friends. Over the years, it has organised numerous artistic programmes and participated in major cultural events, including the “Homeland Spring” programme in Hanoi./.
