Global Instruments
Global instruments with Sofia Gaetani Morris is a show that looks at instruments from around the world - each month we choose one instrument to unpack with guest-musicians, academics and enthusiasts, to understand its historical, geographical and cultural importance and its role in different musical traditions around the world. This month, we look at the Đàn đáy a traditional Vietnamese three-stringed plucked lute. It is exclusively used to accompany Ca trù chamber singing, an ancient, highly complex form of sung poetry that originated in Northern Vietnam. Joining Sofia in the studio is ethnomusicologist and filmmaker Barley Norton, whose research has focused on the music and culture of Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
