Ca Tru singing in need of urgent safeguarding

Recognition helped pave the way for Ca tru to develop in recent years, but without a development plan, the unique performance art is still deemed in urgent need of safeguarding.

The national plans to urgently safeguard ca tru singing remain a pipedream a long 6 years after UNESCO recognition. In the meantime, experienced artisans are aging while young talents continue to lack proper training to remain devoted to the art.
