Wonder why the podcast title is The Hidden Melody? This piece explores one of the World Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity – Nha Nhac, is a representation of Vietnamese culture, people and country. Unlike the iconic Vietnamese street food culture, this traditional court music is not yet well-known internationally, and is on the brink of fading away.
This audio storytelling video discusses the history, different musical instruments played, childhood memory and challenges of preserving such elegant music.
Happy listening!
