Ly Nha Ky and the members of the group, including singer Vu Phuong, singer Holly Truong Diem, MC Quoc Bao and young businessmen of Ho Chi Minh City, came to Gia Lai with an excited and waiting mood.
Ly Nha Ky said the trip was an opportunity for herself and her colleagues to directly feel and learn about the life and culture of ethnic minorities in Gia Lai.
She shared her special love for the Central Highlands culture, from the unique architectural features of the hairpin house, the ao dai, the sophisticated brocade costumes, the rich cuisine to traditional festivals with a strong spiritual and community imprint.
The special highlight of the journey is the warm and sincere reception from the village elders and local people.
The artists were invited to visit the village and gather with the children of the Central Highlands mountains and forests.
Ly Nha Ky expressed: "Cestern culture, especially the culture of ethnic minorities, is a valuable treasure. To experience, to learn, to be warmly welcomed is a great happiness. The Central Highlands people are truly precious children of Vietnam".
The group was also invited to attend an intimate meal with rich mountain and forest flavors. Gia Lai's specialties such as sticky rice and lam cooked in bamboo tubes, grilled chicken with salt and yellow chili, rich stir-fried noodles, grilled piggy bank...
The whole group gathered on the rice tray, enjoyed local cuisine together, listened to stories about life, forests and mountains from the village elders... The whole group also had an unforgettable experience when immersing themselves in the sacred space of the Kong Chieng Festival.
