'Keeping the Fire' Soong Co - Folk song soul in the mountains and forests of Thai Nguyen | Colors of Vietnam | VTV

Amidst the modern pace of life, the Soong Co songs of the San Diu people still resonate in the midlands of Thai Nguyen . At the age of 80, artist Diep Minh Tai is still diligently collecting, translating and teaching more than 1,000 ancient songs with the passion to preserve the precious heritage of the nation. Each lyric is not only a love song but also a source of culture, a 'fire' connecting many generations of San Diu people today.
