Hoa Lu is bustling with countryside music.

Currently, Thien Ton town (Hoa Lu district) has 6 residential groups, all of which have an art club. The maintenance of the practice and art activities is organized regularly and attractively, attracting much attention and positive response from everyone. In the art club, there are people of all ages, from children, teenagers to the elderly with many different professions.

Ms. Tong Thi Ha, a kindergarten teacher, is one of the young members of the Thien Ton Town Arts Club (Hoa Lu District). Ms. Ha has the advantage of singing well and dancing beautifully, so she is always the core of the team's arts team. Participating in the Mass Arts Festival recently organized by the People's Committee of Hoa Lu District, the members of the Club practiced continuously for several weeks.

The selected and entered performances are the Xam song; the dance song "Remembering gratitude to Ms. Vo Thi Sau" and the song "My homeland, my soul". These are all songs praising the merits of our ancestors; the development of our homeland and country. In particular, Xam is not the locality's strong point, but the members still chose this performance to practice and perform with the desire to bring richness and diversity to the program and create a new feeling for the audience.

Joining the art club of Truong Son village (Truong Yen commune) when she was nearly 70 years old, but Giang Thi Loan's youthfulness and passion for music is not inferior to that of young people. Ms. Loan said: The members of the art club of the village are very diverse, from farmers, workers, teachers, the elderly... Busy and hard-working with farm work, but the members are all enthusiastic in participating in the art team to make life more beautiful and meaningful.

Not only performing for people on holidays and Tet, the village art troupe also regularly propagates the policies of the Party, the State and the locality to the people in the form of dramatization, which is very effectively received by the people.

Ms. Giang Hong Tham is the youngest member of the Truong Yen Commune Arts Club to participate in the Mass Arts Festival organized by Hoa Lu District. Ms. Tham is a freelance worker with a stressful job, so being able to participate in the village arts club and indulge in her passion for singing makes her feel her life is balanced. Participating in the district's Mass Arts Festival, the Truong Yen Commune Arts Team performed the songs: Hoa Lu - Future Tourist City, Bong Co Lau and a Chau Van song.

"The art of singing Chau Van is not the strength of Truong Yen. However, for many generations, many generations who love Cheo and Van singing here still sing with passion and desire to bring this art to the locality. To gather people who love Cheo and Van singing to preserve and develop the art of Cheo singing in Truong Yen, in the activities of the art club, we still include Cheo and Van songs for practice. At the same time, in art festivals, we also choose a Van singing performance to practice and bring to the competition..." - Ms. Tham shared.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Yen, Chairman of the People's Committee of Truong Yen Commune, said: Currently, the economic life of the people of Truong Yen Commune has clearly improved. Along with that, people are also constantly improving the quality of spiritual life of themselves and their families. Currently, the whole commune has 16 mass art clubs, attracting hundreds of members to participate. With the establishment and very effective operation of the art teams, it has partly met the cultural enjoyment needs of the people, especially when they are the subjects of those art programs and performances.

With its responsibility, the locality also encourages, motivates and creates favorable conditions for mass art and sports clubs to be established and maintain regular activities, thereby attracting the active participation of each citizen. Coming to Truong Yen in the afternoon, visitors will feel the peace and youthfulness when immersing themselves in country music, performed by barefoot artists. Spiritual life is improved, people are more enthusiastic about economic development to improve the quality of life, push back disasters and social evils, and join hands to build a happy community.
