The colorful traditional costumes and the performances brought to the contest for the first time created an attractive artistic atmosphere.
On August 2-3, at the Quang Ngai Provincial Labor Culture House, there was a culinary competition and traditional ritual performance; folk song, folk dance, traditional musical instrument and traditional costume performance. The most impressive were the works, music, performances and traditional costumes of the Ha Nhi ethnic group in Dien Bien province. The competition involved both playing the flute and performing acrobatics on stage, which everyone enjoyed. The most unique was the flute playing with the nose by a female artist of the Ha Nhi ethnic group in Dien Bien province.
Watching this performance, the audience and the delegations participating in the contest were all excited. Ms. Quàng Thị Tích, a nose flute artist, shared: “In the past, my sister learned to play the nose flute first, then taught me. Now I am preparing to teach my students, and I need students to follow me so that I don’t lose the uniqueness of my people. When I get old and weak, there will be people performing like me. I am very happy and honored to participate in the folk culture performance competition of ethnic groups in the provinces. This is the first time in my life that I have come to Quang Ngai province.”
