For many Vietnamese babies, a lullaby is the very first song they ever hear.
Before they can talk or walk, babies hear hát ru. It is often their first taste of music.

Vietnamese lullabies are called "hát ru," sung softly to help babies sleep.
Many hát ru begin with the gentle sounds "à ơi" to soothe a baby.
Babies are often rocked to sleep in a cloth hammock called a "võng."
Grandmothers and mothers pass hát ru down by heart, song after song.
Many lullabies use words from old folk poems called "ca dao."
