“Nha nhac” or typical royal music of the former imperial city of Hue in central Thua Thien-Hue province will become one of the first 90 heritages included in UNESCO’s list of Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

At a conference on preserving “nha nhac” recently held in Thua Thien-Hue province, Francoise Riviere, UNESCO Deputy Director General for Culture, said that “nha nhac” will continue to benefit from the Convention 2003 for the safeguarding of the intangible cultural heritage which aims to raise the awareness of the heritage importance at provincial, national and international level.
