Ho Ba Trao, also known as Ho Cheo Ba Trao, is a unique folk song of Quang Nam , recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2005.
Ho Ba Trao is sung by two teams, each team consists of 16-20 people, divided equally between men and women. The teams sit opposite each other on two boats, singing and rowing rhythmically.
The content of the songs often revolves around themes such as praising the sea, homeland, people, production labor and good traditional cultural values.
The special feature of Ho Ba Trao is the harmonious combination of music , lyrics and rowing movements. The rhythm of the song is sometimes leisurely, sometimes exciting, creating an atmosphere that is both joyful and exciting, and solemn and respectful.
