SUSTAINABILITY OF VI GIAM FOLK SONGS IN THE COMMUNITY IN THE FACE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES AND LIVELIHOOD NEEDS

Abstract

Since
the
Convention
for
the
Safeguarding
of
the
Intangible
Cultural
Heritage
was
established
in
2003
in
Paris,
the
cultural
expressions
of
ethnic
groups
have
not
only
been
restored,
practiced,
and
transmitted,
but
have
also
received
the
attention
of
the
state,
authorities
at
all
levels,
non‑governmental
organizations,
and
the
community.
In
fact,
the
Vi
Giam
folk
song
heritage
has
been
able
to
survive
over
time
because
the
community
has
preserved
and
taught
it
from
generation
to
generation,
from
region
to
region.
Looking
back
on
the
journey
since
Vi
Giam
folk
songs
were
recognized
by
UNESCO,
many
great
achievements
have
been
made,
but
there
have
also
been
many
difficulties
 and
challenges
 in
 preserving
 and
 promoting
their
 values
 in
 life.
This
 reality
 requires
 a
comprehensive
study
of
the
current
status
of
Vi
Giam
folk
songs
in
the
community,
in
order
to
find
solutions
to
preserve
them
against
the
impact
of
changes
in
the
cultural
environment
and
livelihood
needs.
