Quick answer

How does Hanoi's xẩm tàu điện differ from village-market xẩm?

Xẩm tàu điện appeared in the early 20th century as a later branch of ancient xẩm, sung on tram cars with a fast, concise rhythm and often incorporating poems by Á Nam Trần Tuấn Khải and Nguyễn Bính. Market xẩm is tied to the space of the village market, the banyan tree, the river landing and the communal house courtyard.
