“With this disc, François Jouffa offers a sound exploration of the musical and artistic heritage from Vietnam. First, popular songs from Hanoi are accompanied by the Water Puppet Theatre Company; then the royal music from Huê - the former imperial capital of Vietnam - are played by a group of traditional musicians. This collection of ethnomusical pieces which is dedicated to world cultures and recorded in situ by a specialist in sound capture is also meant to preserve whole sections of popular and artistic traditions.” Benjamin Goldenstein & Patrick Frémeaux
