Famous artists passionately learn folk songs to prepare for performances in the city and encourage university students to embrace the traditional culture.
A number of singers and lecturers in Hanoi have completed a traditional singing training course at the Military University of Culture and Arts in an effort to promote traditional culture and enrich cultural activities in the capital.
The 10-day course, led by People's Artist Thanh Ngoan, was attended by famous singers and lecturers from the university, including To Hoa, Luong Nguyet Anh, Meritorious Artist Huong Giang, and Meritorious Artist Hong Hanh.
