Ca Trù is an ancient genre of singing in the North of Vietnam. It dates back to the 11th century. In the 13^thcentury, during the Ly Dynasty, it was officially recognized as a form of entertainment for the royal court. Inthe 15th century, Ca Trù was popularized and spread throughout northern Vietnam. But it was not until the20th century that it became well-known to the world thanks to the voice of the famous singer Quách Thị Hồ.

Ca Trù is a sophisticated art of sung poetry. Its lyrics are poems. The special thing about it is that it can fit anytypes of poems, no matter long or short. This feature makes Ca Trù a unique performance art. And unlikemodern music, Ca Trù has its own system of music notation and space. A typical performance of Ca Trù oftenconsists of at least three performers. The singer is always a woman. She both sings and plays the clappers(known as phách), an instrument made of wood or bamboo that is beaten with two wooden sticks. A malemusician accompanies the singer on a three-stringed lute (known as đàn đáy) and a drummer who makes thestrong sounds of a praise drum. The singer needs to learn to play phách before learning the vocal method, andit takes from three to ten years to master the vocal and the phách techniques. In 2009, Ca Trù was honorablydeclared as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the UNESCO. Today, there are about 14 clubs ofCa Trù, spreading from the north to the south of Vietnam. However, because of modern forms ofentertainment, Ca Trù is not favoured by the young generations and is gradually losing its fans.
