Performance such as the dance "Fac colored in the ancient capital", monochord solo " Homeland of three regions", or the modern Xam singing combination in the performance "four seasons of flowers" ... vividly depicted a traditional and modern Vietnam, leaving many vibrations in the hearts of Polish audiences.
The cultural exchange between the two countries is delicately expressed through bilingual music performances.

The final performance of "A round of Vietnam - Niech live bal" is a vivid testament to the ability of music to connect across borders, arousing profound human values between the people of the two countries.
