‘Bai Choi’ (singing while acting as playing cards) is a unique, long-standing cultural product that is very familiar to the people of Viet Nam’s South Central Coast region. When time flies, artistes and musicians of ‘Bai Choi’ are getting older, but there is no successor generation, because young people are less interested in traditional musical instruments. Therefore, opening training classes and forming a generation of young musicians for this art form is very urgent, contributing to preserving and promoting the unique cultural characteristics of the region.
80% of the Khmer ethnic people who live in Ca Hom-Ben Ba village in Ham Tan commune, Tra Cu district, Tra Vinh province, are engaged in the craft of mat weaving. Mat weaving began there in 1920 after local women visited relatives in the southernmost province of Ca Mau province and learned it. Upon their return, they cut sedge, split it into fibers, dried it, asked the local men to build looms, and started weaving. Their first sedge mats were very rough and clumsy but they used them instead of buying mats at the market. The mats improved and by the 1940s, the whole village was making mats and selling them at the market. The craft village’s golden age was the 1960s.
