Việt Nam's drum performance thrills Kuala Lumpur audience
KUALA LUMPUR – A performance entitled Trống Cơm (Cylindrical Drum) by Việt Nam’s Lệ Ngọc Theatre has left a strong impression on audience at the International Drum and Dance Festival in Kuala Lumpur.
The event was organised by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) in celebration of Malaysia Day (September 16). It was an annual activity of DBKL to honour cultural diversity, while demonstrating the uniqueness of the art heritage of each state, especially the drum rhythm.

About 20 domestic and four foreign art troupes from Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore and Việt Nam attended the festival.
Opening with the dance Hello Vietnam, young actors of Lệ Ngọc Theatre impressed the audience with their áo dài (traditional long dress) printed with lotuses and conical hats printed with red flag and yellow star. In the second part, a medley of singing and dancing combined with a vibrant and resonant drum performance and well-prepared traditional yet modern dances made the stage come alive with the cheers and encouragement of the large Vietnamese community living in Kuala Lumpur.
This year’s edition drew about 3,000 participants. Many traditional games were also held at the festival such as tug of war, pole vaulting and archery.
