Folk Music Concert on the Street, Hanoi

Sharing some pictures of a lovely evening at a street concert outside a temple in Hanoi

It did not matter that I stood or sat on a rock. All that mattered was the sweet melody and the sweet smiles of the musicians.

The concert, free for everyone, took place outside the temple gates:

And when it was dark, the lanterns came on, the young folk musicians took their seats and the music began.

In Asia, I’ve observed that to enjoy culture one does not need to pay $$$ to enter a concert hall or to be a part of a traditional event. The magic is everywhere and all it takes to be a part of it, is one step forward.
