In Vietnam, it’s quite common to come across elderly musicians playing traditional instruments like the đàn nguyệt (moon lute) in tourist areas. These skilled musicians often gather in popular spots such as markets, temples, or along busy streets in cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Their performances not only entertain tourists but also preserve Vietnam’s rich musical heritage. Many of these musicians have been playing their instruments for decades and their performances reflect a deep connection to Vietnamese culture and history. Visitors often find these impromptu concerts to be a charming and authentic part of their travel experience in Vietnam.
