Old Sounds of New Day at Manzi - Encounter 1 Xam

Fri 17 Jul 2015, 8 pm
Manzi Art Space

From Manzi:

The first encounter in manzi’s traditional music series entitled ‘Old Sounds Of New Day’ will start next Friday, 17 July with an amazing Xẩm performance featuring two masters of traditional music in Vietnam: Xuan Hoach & Thanh Hoai, and other talented musicians of Hanoi.

Originally born from the street and performed by wandering artists, Xẩm is a form of folk music deeply rooted in the people, especially the inferior and outcast. With simple lyrics and brutally honest attitude, the narratives in Xẩm songs often describe life’s hardships, satirically comment on social degradation and discuss hotly-debated political issues.

Surcharge at door: 150,000VND (including one free drink)

Due to limited seating capacity (acoustic concert for 30 people only), please email us at [email protected] before Wed 14 July to reserve seats.

‘Old Sounds of New Day’ is a series of traditional music concerts hosted by manzi as an effort to support these traditional values, and to tell a real story about traditional music in Vietnam.

Communications partners: Hanoi Grapevine, The Word Vietnam and &OfOtherThings
