The performance team of Bo Ca hamlet is performing at the ceremony to receive the certificate of the Cultural Heritage at the provincial level in Chua Boi province, Nam Thuong commune (Kim Boi).

Being at the ceremony to receive the certificate of the Cultural Heritage at the provincial level of Boi Pagoda in Nam Thuong commune, we were enjoying many excellent art performances imbued with the national cultural identity acted by the performance team of Bo Ca village. Dressed in traditional costumes, the actors and artists of the performance team of Bo Ca village have attracted people to the lyrics and dances with a simple, rustic performance.

Ms. Bui Thi Xuan Loc, the cultural officer of Nam Thuong commune says that the Party Committee and the appropriate authorities of the commune have always paid attention to and created all conditions for the movement of culture, sports and physical activities to develop in recent years. From the investment budget of the national target program on the new rural construction, the commune has focused on directing and promoting the socialization, mobilizing people to contribute to building basic cultural institutions, creating a foundation to develop mass art movement, meeting the people's demand for the cultural creation and enjoyment.

Currently, 100% of the villages have their own performance team with from 20 to 30 members who have the passion and love of traditional singing, dancing and musical instruments. Particularly, due to the large and densely populated area, the performance team of Bo Ca hamlet has over 40 participants and it is divided into 4 small groups to practice. The performance teams operate under the method of socialization. They voluntarily donate money to purchase equipment and performance costumes to serve the local political tasks and the demand to enjoy the culture and art of the local people.

The activities of the performance teams are regularly maintained at the cultural houses of every village and hamlet and they are integrated into the regular meetings of the associations and the unions. Each performance team has its own strengths and most of the art performances of the teams are traditional songs and dances. Typically, they are the performance teams of Binh Tan village, Doi 3 village, Boi Ca village and so on. Especially, during the festivals, the competitions and cultural shows organized by the district, the commune has alternately appointed each team of the villages, creating conditions for the performance teams to have opportunities to exchange, learn experiences and improve performance quality.
