Music from Vietnam 2: Huê

The recording features imperial ceremonial music, the seductive, romantic songs of the oarsmen, as they glide along in their sampans, the more ancient traditional music from Huê, but also the infectiously rhythmic music of the Vietnamese cult of the saints.

Music from Vietnam 3: Ethnic minorities

The different ethnic groups living in various parts of the country, all have their own languages, religions, customs - and music.
