Also showcased is a painting depicting the three expressions of “Xam” performers, a portrait of meritorious artist Ha Thi Cau, and a documentary about young people learning the art of “Xam” singing.

“Xam” is a centuries-old singing style that has long been recognised as an important piece of Vietnam’s cultural heritage./.
