Wonderful CD of Vietnamese ca tru, ceremonial singing, an art form that dates back eleven centurries. Traditionally singers and instrumentalists often lived together,according to family lines. Female singer Pham Thi Hue organizes a regular tri-weekly performance of ca tru music in Hanoi, where this CD was purchased. Simple, female vocals accompanied by the dan day, a long necked three stringed lute, and phach (small wooden sticks beaten on a piece bamboo)
