Vietnamese traditional music is a rich and diverse art form, with a history spanning centuries. One of its most recognizable genres is Nhã nhạc, meaning "elegant music." This genre, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, flourished in the royal courts of Vietnam from the 15th to the early 20th century.
Nhã nhạc performances typically feature a variety of instruments, including string instruments like the đàn tranh (zither) and đàn nguyệt (moon-shaped lute), as well as percussion instruments like the trống (drum) and mõ (wooden fish). Vocalists, often singing in ancient court language, play a central role, their voices soaring above the intricate melodies.

Artists began incorporating modern instruments like guitars and keyboards, creating a vibrant fusion of traditional and contemporary sounds.
