Falling in love with ‘quan ho’ songs(BGO)
- Previously, I often heard ‘quan ho
(love duet singing) Bac Ninh’ and now I know ‘quan ho Bac Giang’. A question was raised in my mind: “Whether we
should call it ‘quan ho Kinh Bac’
and it will be more accurate. The
‘quan ho Kinh Bac’ is full of love and romance. It seems to be a game lasting from generation
to generation and
never stopping.
