Veteran artists release new ca tru album of ceremonial singing
Update at 22/03/2011 14:05
Musician Nguyen Phu De and well-known singer Pham Thi Hue have released a new ca tru (ceremonial songs) compact disc.
The six-song disc titled Ca tru – Singing House was first proposed five years ago when singer Nguyen Thi Chuc and artist Nguyen Phu De accepted Hue as a professional ca tru singer.
The artists hope the disc will not only be a bridge to link audiences inside and outside the country but will also foster the loving career of ca tru singers.
De and Hue are from two different generations. De, who is 88 years old, began learning how to play the dan day three-stringed lute at the age of 10 while singer Hue only began singing ca tru after meeting Chuc in 2001.
