Online Travel Vietnam: The Vietnamese Institute of Musicology proposed a VND3.5 billion ($170,000) plan to preserve ca tru, a Vietnamese traditional music genre, at a meeting in Hanoi yesterday.
Under the plan, the institute will publish two CD-book collections of ca tru songs and organize classes in major cities such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hai Phong.
Ca tru, which originated in northern Vietnam, is an ancient genre of chamber music featuring female vocalists.
It is considered one of the Intangible Cultural Heritage that needs preservation by the Vietnamese government.
