During the performances, many new verses composed directly by the artists vividly reflected the changing face of the homeland, praising the beauty of traditional culture, traditional crafts, and the camaraderie of the people of An Nhon Tay commune. This partly shows that Bài Chòi has never been a static art form, but is always in motion, evolving with the rhythm of life.
Adding more color to the Bài Chòi folk singing tradition, Mr. Ngo Viet Hoa (a poetry lover in Binh Dinh ward) has composed many new verses for the artists to sing and perform for the audience during the nights of performances.
Simple, heartfelt verses contribute to the unique charm of the festival night, such as: "The Con River flows to our homeland / Crossing the Truong Cuu Bridge, we hear joyful songs / A peaceful rice-growing region... Sister Hai doesn't mind the early morning or late noon / She's not afraid of keeping the traditional craft, rain or shine ."
"As soon as the drums start beating, people flock to the area in large numbers. We sincerely hope that this art form will continue to be maintained and organized more frequently in the locality," Mr. Hoa expressed.
Whenever they set foot in a new land, the artists always flexibly innovate their singing styles, refining each melody so that listeners can clearly feel the image of their homeland in every word.
Having performed for four nights in An Nhon Tay commune, artisan Dieu Thien said she always tries to refresh her skills before each performance. Besides practicing and memorizing new songs, she also spends time honing her improvisational skills and coordinating with her fellow performers to create a harmonious and lively atmosphere for the show. After each performance, she reviews the videos and learns more to enrich her professional knowledge.
“The atmosphere in Dong Lam village is very joyful and warm. Every night, many villagers come to watch and cheer enthusiastically, which makes the artists even more excited and gives them more emotion to share with the audience,” shared artist Dieu Thien.
According to Mr. Dang Trung Hieu, Head of the Culture and Social Affairs Department of the An Nhon Tay Commune People's Committee, the unexpected success of the Bài Chòi singing nights stemmed from the dedication and wholehearted commitment of the artists. With their deep love for the craft, the artists delivered emotionally rich and innovative performances, leaving a lasting and beautiful impression on the audience.
“During each performance, people from within and outside the commune come to participate and cheer in large numbers, creating a joyful and lively atmosphere. In the future, An Nhon Tay commune plans to establish a Bai Choi club to bring together those who love this art form to participate in activities.”
"Through this, the locality continues to preserve and promote traditional cultural identity, contributing to building an increasingly rich cultural life at the grassroots level," Mr. Hieu added.
