Vietnam folk music genre set to seek UNESCO status
 |
| Nghe An Province's folklore is on its way to be recognized as world cultural intangible heritage. |
The Folk Singing Promotion and Preservation Center in the central Vietnamese province of Nghe An has compiled a dossier on the local Nghe folk singing for submission for recognition as a UNESCO world intangible cultural heritage by 2015.
Nguyen Ngoc At, head of the center, said there are 32 professional Nghe folk singing troupes.
Eight artists belonging to these troupes have been honored as National Folk Artists.
The center is collecting documents, photos, recordings, and video clips about the art form to promote it at home and abroad, he said.
Last October the first Nghe folk singing festival was held in the province.
