The Phù Lá are an ethnic group of Vietnam and China. Most Phù Lá live in the Lào Cai province of northeastern Vietnam, and their population in Vietnam is approximately 9,046.[1] There are also approximately 4,200 Phù Lá in China, where they are classified as members of the Yi ethnic group.[2]
The Phù Lá speak a language in the Tibeto-Burman family, though many are shifting to the Vietnamese language.[3]
They sing Êmê kha bá and play ma nhí, pi tót, and cúc kẹ. They celebrate the Gù Shư Mu festival and Ga Ta Ma Chu festival.
