Drum and trumpet sounds tell stories of Cham culture

In every traditional festival such as the Kate Festival, Ramawan Festival, or religious ceremonies at temples, the sounds of these three instruments resonate as if connecting people with their ancestors and gods. The Ghi-nang drum, with its strong rhythm, symbolizes strength and spirit. The Paranung drum, with its deep sound, is used to keep the beat. The Saranai trumpet, with its characteristic ringing sound, "breathes life" into the festival space, creating a unique harmony.

In the context of rapid integration and change in modern life, preserving and promoting the value of traditional musical instruments of the Cham people has become an important task. Many elderly artisans still diligently teach the younger generation, preserving the ancient sounds through each lesson and each performance in festivals.

This is not only about preserving a musical heritage, but also preserving national cultural identity, contributing to enriching the treasure of Vietnamese cultural heritage in the flow of integration.
