| Description |
The Sấng Cọ singing, also known as Ví singing in Lưu Tam , has existed for a long time. It is a lyrical folk song genre written in the seven-word form, created by simple farmers. These songs are preserved and practiced orally or recorded in ancient Chinese characters.
The Sấng Cọ singing has three main types: ritual singing, Ví singing and love singing, each of which reflects the thoughts, feelings and desires of ethnic people in their daily lives. Participants are divided into groups to sing in response to each other on many topics, and can sing according to available lyrics or improvise. Although the lyrics are rustic and simple, they have rich content and high educational value.
The Sấng Cọ singing can be sung anywhere such as in the house, on the street, at the edge of the forest or on the fields... expressing the unique customs and practices and is the pride of the Sán Chay ethnic people for generations. |
