Weekend Coffee: Affirming the important position of "red music"

In just the past few months, the country's music scene has been bustling with a series of large, national-level programs that have been, are being, and will be held in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Besides the highly entertaining programs, which are strongly supported by the audience with the names "big brother", "beautiful sister", more notable are the national concerts, political art programs with the meaning of celebrating the country's major holidays of April 30, August 19, September 2.

Most recently, the program “Proud to be Vietnamese” took place on August 17 at My Dinh National Stadium Square with the participation of more than 30,000 spectators. Or coming up, on August 26, at the National Exhibition Fair Center (Dong Anh, Hanoi ) is the concert “Vietnam in me”; at 8:00 p.m. on September 1, at the National Stadium (My Dinh, Hanoi) is a special art program celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day September 2...

The common point of political art programs is that they are held at performance venues with large spaces, with the participation of tens of thousands of audiences. More importantly, in these programs, the artists selected to perform are all well-trained, always welcomed and highly appreciated by the audience in many aspects, such as Tung Duong, Pham Thu Ha, Trong Tan, Vu Thang Loi, Duong Hoang Yen... A few years ago, anyone who followed important national concert programs, called "Dieu con mai" and "Diamel of the Fatherland", could not help but be impressed with Do To Hoa, a lecturer at the Military University of Culture and Arts, who has a special soprano voice, "could not be more suitable" when performing with the orchestra. They are important factors that help the program succeed, spread positive messages and contribute to affirming the important position of traditional music, revolutionary music and truly "luxurious" and "elegant" art programs.

The trend of organizing national concerts and political art programs with careful investment in both content and form is contributing to adjusting art consumption trends, creating a counterbalance to the "market" program type that has for a time strongly dominated Vietnam's musical life.
