“Xam” singing is a traditional art form originated in Vietnam’s northern regions. For a long time, the art-form fell into oblivion and faced a great risk of being lost, but recently it has
been revitalized and gradually proved its vital place in Vietnamese people’s minds.
Xam is something very simple, natural and familiar in people’s lives. Xam songs are diverse in content, but all praise love and human values, so it’s loved and treasured by all. Xam
artists should have a very powerful voice, to sing continuously for hours without the support of techniques.
