Sung A Manh preserves Hmong musical heritage in Suoi Giang

Sung A Manh, a young artist from the Suoi Giang region in Van Chan, has returned to his home village to preserve the traditional musical heritage of the Hmong people. After graduating from the Yen Bai Vocational College, Manh chose to return to his community rather than seeking urban opportunities to address the declining interest in traditional culture among local youth.

Manh utilizes his formal training in arts to perform the khèn and Hmong flute, aiming to keep these traditional melodies alive. He actively collaborates with village elders and local artisans to study and practice these heritage instruments, working to ensure the cultural identity of the Hmong people remains vibrant for future generations.
