On the morning of April 30, more than 1,000 artists performed together to open the parade in Ho Chi Minh City. At the end, they sang together in the song "Joining Hands", which moved many spectators.

For more than half a century, Trinh Cong Son's music has permeated the spiritual life of the Vietnamese people, often resounding in the country's important and sacred events. "Noi Vong Tay Lon" is also always the song that closes music programs commemorating him.

On the afternoon of April 30, 1975, right after Saigon was liberated, musician Trinh Cong Son spoke and sang this song on Saigon Radio. At that time, he changed the lyrics himself, writing the line "The blue sea and brocade river connect a circle of Vietnam" - as a simple but profound declaration of peace and unity (Photo: Screenshot).

Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, People's Artist Quoc Hung expressed his honor and happiness to perform in the April 30th ceremony program. The male artist said that he and People's Artist Ta Minh Tam are close friends, and were both awarded the title of People's Artist in 2019. But it was not until today that the two had the opportunity to stand on the same stage and sing together in such a special performance.

"It was a very special feeling for both me and Ta Minh Tam, when we were able to sing the opening song in a sacred space and moment, in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. For me, the music at that time was no longer an individual song, but the common voice of millions of Vietnamese people on the day of national reunification," People's Artist Quoc Hung shared (Photo: Provided by the character).

Sharing with Dan Tri reporter, singer Vo Ha Tram expressed: "To be able to contribute my voice to an important event of the country, taking place on a large stage and in front of millions of spectators, is a great honor for me.
