Khmer Dances Uphold Tradition in Modern Vietnam

Ho chi minh city: Amid the pace of modern life, the traditional cultural values of Vietnam's Khmer community continue to be preserved and passed down through generations. Within the sacred grounds of Khmer pagodas, the vibrant rhythms of Chhay-dam drums, the resonant sounds of the Pinn Peat ensemble, traditional folk dances, and the masked Robam dance-drama remain enduring symbols of the community's rich cultural identity. According to Vietnam News Agency, beyond mere performances, the participation of artisans and young people in practicing and learning traditional art forms contributes to nurturing love for national culture, creating a bridge between the past and the present. These activities demonstrate the efforts of the Khmer community in preserving intangible cultural heritage, while affirming the enduring vitality of Khmer cultural identity in the flow of development and integration of modern society.
