Audience excitedly welcomes Vietnamese historical song by Pham Dang Khuong

The lingering echo after the collection's launch at the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House was the overwhelming happiness when a large number of young audiences came to attend and cheer on the compositions of musician Pham Dang Khuong with the theme "Hong Bang, motherland of Van Lang".

The young people sang along, clapped their hands in response to the singer's performance, and listened to musician Pham Dang Khuong share about his composing journey, especially the circumstances in which each Vietnamese historical song was born.

This project includes 50 songs about Vietnamese history from the Hong Bang period to the Duy Tan movement (1872 - Phan Chau Trinh) performed by singers Nha Truc, Kim Duyen, Hanh Nguyen, Trong Thuong... Besides the heroic songs, the work "Co lau tap truong" is also composed on the gentle folk melody, with the lyrical sound of the North.

Musician Pham Dang Khuong said that when he is far away from Vietnam, he always remembers the days he walked on familiar roads such as Tran Hung Dao, Quang Trung, Le Loi, Tran Quoc Toan, Hai Ba Trung, Le Quy Don, Nguyen Du, Nguyen Khuyen, Bui Thi Xuan... Those names are only known as people who contributed to building and defending the country, but young people do not remember clearly which historical era they lived in.

Therefore, through 50 songs, he hopes to help students remember and understand the great contributions and achievements of national heroes who shed blood to preserve the sovereignty of the Fatherland.

Chairman of the Thu Duc City Literature and Arts Association - Musician Phan Long praised the 50 epics by musician Pham Dang Khuong and hoped that these songs would spread widely and be brought into the educational environment by cultural and artistic organizations. Because, not only simply describing portraits, the 50 songs also tell stories and events in the lives of historical figures.

"Absorbing history through music is always the most creative and easy way to get people's hearts. That's why Pham Dang Khuong's composing speed is very admirable, especially when he always writes music that is very youthful and very humorous" - musician Phan Long said.
