Dance of Many Colors/Vũ điệu muôn màu

The sound of Dan Bau – The haunting melodies!

After concerts, we often asked and commended “Is it really one string?”, “How it works?”, “Could I try it?”, “Wow! It was the incredible sounds!”, “From far away, I couldn’t see the string, so it looked like you were touching the air to make music. Beautiful, beautiful melodies!!!”

What is it?
It called Dan Bau, the Vietnamese national one string zither. It is constructed of a long narrow sound box with a tall curved stem made from water buffalo horn inserted at one end. The single string runs between the sound box and a small wooden gourd attached to the stem. The stem is bent to change the pitch of the string. The string is plucked at nodal points producing the dan bau’s characteristic high clear sound.

The CD is combination of solo and duet Dan Bau with ten difference orchestras and ensemble that including:
Traditional Orchestra of Tashkent Conservatory
Traditional Orchestra of Tajikistan
Traditional Orchestra of Uzbekistan
Traditional Orchestra of the Vietnam Conservatory of Music
Lotus Ensemble
