The black finger on the Tinh lute in Pheo village
For a long time, Pheo village, Xuan Giao commune, Bao Thang district has maintained and developed a mass art troupe of more than 20 members, mainly women and all of them are Tay ethnic people. During the free time, weekends, holidays or evenings, the women gather at the village cultural house and share with each other Then melodies and the emotional Tinh lute sounds...Under the graceful and gentle fingers of the Tay women, each string sound on the Tinh zither resonates with the deep sound of a pure soul, of the desire for love and happiness.
The Tinh lute in Pheo village is not simply a dried gourd, a wooden stick and a silk string, but also contains the traditional cultural values of the Tay people in a peaceful and prosperous homeland. The sound of the lute is also a bridge for people to love, share, unite, compete, join hands and hearts to build a new and more beautiful life.

A normal practice session but cultural identity is still respected and preserved by members wearing traditional costumes, with hair scarves, head scarves, bracelets, silver chains, earrings...

Every time the sound of the instrument resonates with the fingers, joy and happiness overflow, dispelling worries and sorrows. The high and low, joyful sound of the instrument, according to the concept of the Tay people in Pheo village, is also a connecting thread, a conversation between heaven and earth, the harmony of yin and yang.
