The same day, the Nghe An provincial Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism held a meeting with people who have greatly contributed to the preservation and compilation of Vi-Giam folk singing dossier. The honorees included researchers, managers, artisans, and Vi-Giam folk singing clubs. Vietnam’s Nghe Tinh Vi-Giam folk singing was officially recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity at the 9th session of its Inter-governmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Paris last November.
