(HBO) – A festival has been held in Sao Bay High School for young art troupes to popularise revolutionary songs. Themed "Hoa Binh youth move forward under the Party flag,” the event was jointly organised by the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union (HCYU) of Hoa Binh and Kim Boi district's Centre for Culture, Information and Communications.
A performance at the festival.
The festival drew 15 art troupes from the youth unions of Sao Bay High School
and Sao Bay commune. They performed 15 songs in different forms such as solo,
duet, trio, group singing, singing and dancing, praising the Party, President
Ho Chi Minh, revolutionary tradition and love for the homeland, nation and
people, as well as Vietnamese soldiers and young people.
This was a practical and effective activity to educate the youth on the
revolutionary tradition, inspiring their pride on the older generations'
glorious struggles for national independence and freedom. The event also aimed
to promote the solidarity and self-resilience as well as the love for the
Fatherland among youth union members and youngsters, while highlighting the
pioneering role of the youth in all aspects of the social life, strengthening
healthy cultural and art movements, and contributing to maintaining the
national cultural identity./.
Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.
The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.
The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.
At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
In recent years, alongside the development of a tourism-oriented economy, the traditional brocade weaving craft of the Mong people in Pa Co Commune, Mai Chau district has been gradually preserved and promoted. It has become a unique indigenous cultural feature, contributing to improving the livelihoods of the ethnic minority community.
