Proud to 'see the homeland bright in the dawn'

Prominently appearing at "national concerts", a series of new hits that went viral online, being present on a bustling cross-Vietnam bus called "Proud of Vietnam"... - they are the most enthusiastic artists on the journey to "continue the story of peace" on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of National Day.

When "the patriotic bloc entered the podium"

As expected, the cross-Vietnam bus trip named "Proud of Vietnam" initiated by the DTAP band in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union, departing from the city named after Uncle Ho on August 19, "arrived" in the capital on National Day and had a mini show on the evening of September 2 at Dong Kinh Nghia Thuc Square, part of Hoan Kiem walking street.

15 days simulating the journey "cutting through Truong Son", DTAP and the artists went through Dak Lak, Da Nang , Hue, Quang Tri, Nghe An, Phu Tho..., with the luggage of 12 songs from the first album Made in Vietnam just released. There were songs that quickly became hits as soon as they were released, such as My House Has a Flag Hanging ...

Made in Vietnam is a collection of songs with a calling and all belong to the topic that is often considered "dry", "forced" and picky about listeners; but in reality, many of these songs have created a strong viral effect, especially Nam quoc son ha and Nha toi co hang mot ca co .

How to convey messages imbued with civic spirit without being considered "seasonal thinking", "slogan shouting"...? "Each song in Made in Vietnam starts from very small observations: an early morning call, an image of hard-working parents... From those everyday things, we gradually evoke deeper layers of meaning - about origins, about responsibility, about pride. The key point to spreading here is probably the sincerity and empathy in storytelling. We always try to find a familiar representative image - a mother, a ship, a lullaby - to evoke emotions and connect young audiences with values ​​that seem far away. Besides, the community factor is also very important: we do not make music alone, but always find ways for everyone to participate - artists, audiences, cultural fanpages, mass organizations... to create a natural, positive spreading effect...", DTAP shared with Thanh Nien .

Also on the bus, Phuong My Chi, a close associate of DTAP, also enthusiastically contributed: "Chi thinks deep inside, everyone will have a corner for love of their homeland, and each person will express it in their own way. When traditional music is made carefully, with a modern color but does not lose its soul, it not only attracts young people but also makes them feel represented: Ah, it turns out that identity can also be very trendy and close to oneself!".

The Em xinh say hi champion believes that her patriotism is not only in the traditional musical material that she has been attached to for a long time: "Moreover, it is also shown in the way Chi wants to preserve and retell those values ​​in a modern language, close to her generation. Chi always believes that patriotism is not something old or abstract, but can be very artistic, very civilized, very brave - as long as you are sincere and do it with all kindness and understanding...".

"So what if I shout slogans"?

Tung Duong is having a happy working day, when two MVs in collaboration with "billion-view musician" Nguyen Van Chung: Continuing the story of peace and Vietnam - Proud to follow the future continuously reached 3 - 3.5 million views on YouTube and 20 million views on TikTok. The video Continuing the story of peace was performed by Tung Duong for the first time at the concert To Quoc Trong Tim on the evening of August 10, creating a strong viral effect and was evaluated by its "father" - musician Nguyen Van Chung as the most perfect version.

Enthusiastic about patriotic music, the male singer said that he is not afraid of being accused of "shouting slogans" when choosing to express these slogan-like lyrics. "So what if I shout slogans? I'm just afraid that I'm not sincere and passionate enough to be able to make meaningful appeals! When deep in my mind I always have pride in my homeland, then my singing will naturally arise and definitely not just shout slogans," he said.

"Not just now, but since the days of Sao Mai Diem Hen , I have always been excited about songs that when sung, the artist feels in a cheerful, generous mood like Oh My Hometown by musician Le Minh Son or Mai Dinh Lang Bien by Nguyen Cuong. I have always been in love with strong, powerful music, but also very close and familiar with the homeland. Love, when there is enough sincerity, your voice, no matter the volume, will reach listeners with the same emotional frequency...", the singer of Oh My Hometown added.

Singer of Que em mua nuoc lu (Lost in My Homeland) , Bai ca dat phuong nam (Song of the Southern Land) and Nam quoc son ha (Son of the Southern Country) Phuong My Chi also said that she is not afraid of being accused of "shouting slogans" when choosing to sing songs about love for the country. "Because if what you say and do comes from sincere feelings and cultural understanding, then it is no longer a slogan, but an ideal of life. Chi always believes that: responsibility is not a slogan, but a choice every day. Chi chooses to sing songs with cultural depth. Chooses to make products carefully and kindly. Chooses to tell the story of Vietnam in a way that young people can see themselves in it," Phuong My Chi confided.

Singing at the "national concerts" A50 and A80, I was truly overwhelmed by the response of the audience. Tens of thousands of people sang traditional patriotic songs in unison, giving me goosebumps. Because music has transcended entertainment, becoming a common language connecting the hearts of the entire nation. I clearly saw pride, faith and love for the Fatherland in the eyes of each audience member, and that is the greatest motivation for an artist like me.
