DESCRIPTION: Hoa Tràng An was founded in 1996 by Thanh Dán, inspired by the deep love for traditional music that she shares with the other members of the ensemble. Over the past decade, they have performed their powerfully feminine renditions of Vietnamese folk music in China, Thailand, Japan, and Germany, in addition to frequent performances at home in Vietnam.
