Ca trù (also known as “Ả Đào” as well) is a Vietnamese genre of musical storytelling performed by a female vocalist, with origins in northern Vietnam. For much of its history it was associated with entertaining wealthy people as well as performing religious songs for the royal court. Ca trù is inscribed on the list of intangible cultural heritage in need of urgent safeguarding in 2009.

In this workshop, docent Vu Thi Thuy Linh will give an overview of Ca Trù style, show some important singing techniques and teach us some examples of how to apply them.
