The special art program “Connecting Melodies - Pride of Vietnam” will be the link connecting generations through revolutionary music on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day, September 2.
Epic of Memory and Present
In the 80-year journey, from the historic autumn of 1945 to the present, music has always been a companion of the Vietnamese people, recording milestones, wrapping up thoughts, and lighting up aspirations.
“Proud of Vietnam” is a special series within the framework of the program “Connecting Melodies”, where music is not only an art, but also a material that connects the community, conveys values and inspires. With the desire to honor 80 years of the country, this program includes 80 typical revolutionary songs, selected by a team of prestigious experts and artists. This broadcast episode features People's Artist Tan Minh, a member of the program's artistic advisory board.
80 songs are 80 milestones, 80 stories, 80 spiritual portraits, from heroic songs in the war zone, to songs of youth that resolve hatred, from the pain of separation to the joy of independence day. But not stopping at reminiscing, the program has breathed new life into it, when choosing outstanding songs to renew, arranged in contemporary music and performed by young faces, artists from many fields and representatives of social classes.
Patriotism in contemporary breath
“Proud of Vietnam” is not simply about returning, but about moving forward together. The combination of revolutionary musical heritage and contemporary artistic language creates a space of deep connection between generations. Songs such as “The Girl Who Opens the Road” (Xuan Giao), “The Girl of Saigon Carrying Ammunition” (Lu Nhat Vu) or “Hello, Lam Hong Girl” (Anh Duong)… not only resound as praise for female heroes, but also revive under a new look, close to today's youth, strong yet profound, modern yet symbolic.
People's Artist Tan Minh - who has been involved in revolutionary music for many years, shared: "I am very moved when I listen to songs like "The girl sharpening spikes" or "Being grateful to Vo Thi Sau". It is not just music, but also a vivid portrait of brave, patriotic and self-sacrificing Vietnamese women. When young artists perform these songs with empathy and creativity, I see a new flow being opened, a flow of pride, humanity and hope".
Contributing to the soft and emotional tone of the program is the graceful guidance of MC My Van, a familiar face of the Arts Department, Vietnam Television. With a soulful voice, elegant but no less profound style, My Van not only connects the emotional flow throughout the program but also conveys the sacred spirit of revolutionary songs in a close way.
Music space inspires action
The program affirms the position of culture and art in the process of building identity and awakening national spirit. When those songs resound in a modern space, amidst stage lights and new performing language, the audience will not only hear, but also feel, relive and accompany.
Through “Proud of Vietnam”, “Connecting Melodies” also opens a strong message for young people: Patriotism is not just something big. It can start from listening, understanding and being proud of the values our ancestors left behind. And music, like an underground river, always knows how to find sympathetic souls to spread.
Connecting Yesterday - Opening Tomorrow
Towards National Day September 2, “Proud of Vietnam” will be the opening program for a series of special cultural events held by VTV in 2025. Vietnam Television hopes that through music, it will not only recall the spirit of our ancestors but also arouse the desire to contribute and be creative in today's generation.
The special art program “Connecting Melodies - Pride of Vietnam” will officially air at 10:10 pm on July 6, 2025 on VTV1 and continue on the following Sundays, to look back on the 80-year journey through the lens of music, and listen to the modern beats of a nation that is still moving forward, full of pride and honor.
