Especially, artist Y Wang living in the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, often called “the storyteller of legendary nights”, will bring a night like this to Hanoi on March 25th. Y Wang has become famous for his performances of “ke khan” - a traditional art of the Ede ethnic group, where legends are told through folk songs.

In addition, 30 ethnic people from four groups, including Thai from the central province of Nghe An, Muong from the northern mountainous province of Hoa Binh, Trieng from the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum and Ede from the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, will organize daily life activities at the ethnic villages area, introducing folk knowledge, gastronomy, traditional handicrafts and musical instruments./.
