(CPV) – Following the successes of the concerts in 2008 and 2010, the 3rd percussion festival titled “Cracking Bamboo 2012” will be held by the Goethe Institute in Vietnam on September 6-10.
“Cracking bamboo” promises to present another very colourful, surprising and creative project. On the foundation of percussion instruments and rhythm, “Cracking Bamboo” combines Asian and Western music for an exceptional and unique sound.
The festival also supports the cultural exchange between western and eastern nations, and besides the music, it is an initiative to support innovative methods and practice in the field of music and performance arts.
The various artists will present themselves musically at the courtyard of the Goethe Institute on October 6th and will present their show at the Youth Theatre in Hanoi on October 7th and at the Conservatory in Ho Chi Minh City on October 10th
This year, around 31 participants from Asia and Europe, including Germany, Norway, France, England, Mongolia, Canada, Belgium, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, will come together for workshops in Bangkok.
From Vietnam, three percussionists from the music academy Ho Chi Minh City will take part, and three musicians from Hanoi will play Vietnamese string instruments, like the “Dan Bau”, and the traditional bamboo xylophone “Dan T`Rung”.
According to Goethe Institute, “Cracking bamboo” presents music which is the result of artists creating on the same level, in respect for the musical culture of others. It is a wonderful adventure of listening for both the musicians and the audience./.
