Ðờn Ca Tài Tử Festival II
Preserving traditional chamber tài tử music
After the great success of the First Ðờn Ca Tài Tử Festival (Ðờn
Ca Tài Tử means playing traditional musical instruments and
singing tài tử chamber music) in 2001, Vietnam Television (VTV)
organized the Second Ðờn Ca Tài Tử Festival this year in HCM City.
The festival aims to preserve this traditional music amidst the
confused music market at present.
22
groups from all over Vietnam's South (e.g. HCM City, Bình Dương,
Bình Phước, Tây Ninh, etc.) contributed to preserving Vietnam’s
traditional chamber tài tử music when they took part in the festival
which started in April 2003 at Hưng Ðạo Hall of HCM City. The attendance
of young artists in the festival showed their effort to preserve
the nation’s intangible culture while many artists in the field
are becoming older.
The
final round on June 14, 2003 was a live broadcasting show on the
national television with Tieng Hat Que Huong providing the performance
of "Lưu Thủy Kim Tiền Xuân Phong Long Hổ".
 The
jury had a tough decision to choose between the 2 finalists from
Go Vap and Tan Binh, but because there could be only one winner,
so the Tan Binh group convinced the jury with their performance
and won the First Prize. The Second Prize went to the Tai Tu Club
of Go Vap, the groups from Binh Duong and Long An shared the Third
Prize.
