Hanoï : promouvoir la musique de l’ethnie Kho Mu
22/11/2019 12:47 Courrier du Vietnam
>>Fête culturelle et touristique de Muong Lò à Yên Bái
>>Les activités du mois d’octobre au Village culturel et touristique des ethnies du Vietnam
>>Festival de parapente de Mù Cang ChaiLes 23 et 24 novembre, le Musée d’ethnographie du Vietnam (rue Nguyên Van Huyên, arrondissement de Câu Giây), à Hanoï, va organiser un programme de présentation de la musique de l’ethnie Kho Mu vivant dans les provinces de Nghê An (au Centre) et Diên Bien (au Nord-Ouest). Via des représentations de 19 artistes Kho Mu, le public aura l’occasion de découvrir l’originalité des chants, danses et instruments de musique de cette ethnie minoritaire. Il s’agirait d’une bonne occasion de présenter les traits culturels originaux de l’ethnie Kho Mu, contribuant à préserver et valoriser la richesse du patrimoine culturel et artistique du pays. Les instruments de musique Kho Mu – notamment flûte, percussions, orgue à bouche, guimbardes – sont faits en bambou et en d’autres matériaux disponibles dans la nature. Les chants Kho Mu évoquent la nature sauvage dans laquelle ils vivent. Le plus populaire s’appelle Tơm, un chant alterné à la fois rapide, fort et romantique. Mais les Kho Mu aiment aussi danser, pour l’essentiel des danses traditionnelles et danse Sap (danse au bambou).

Đề nghị đổi mới hệ thống giáo dục đại học Việt Nam
Đề nghị sau đây là một khung tư duy gồm những nguyên tắc chính để đổi mới hệ thống giáo dục Đại học VN. Mỗi nguyên tắc chính đều có nhiều chi tiết cần thực hành khi khai triển thành hành động cụ thể.

2. Đại học tự trị: Đại học là nơi dạy người ta suy nghĩ và sáng tạo, và nơi sản xuất chất xám cho đất nước.
