Anh Thơ endured hardships to help her colleagues pursue their passion.

The female singer endured the 40-degree Celsius heat to complete a musical project for singer Linh Nguyen.

"Duong Tinh Doi Nga" is a Bolero album by singer Linh Nguyen that has just been released. The album includes 9 famous songs from over the years such as "Sau Le Bong," "Mua Nua Dem," "Chuyen Tau Hoang Hon," etc.

The product features singer Anh Thơ. The female singer shared: “Until now, audiences have been familiar with the combination of Anh Thơ's voice with male singers of revolutionary songs like Trọng Tấn and Việt Hoàn. But besides mainstream and folk music, I also love Bolero music. Linh Nguyễn possesses a voice that isn't technically heavy but is emotional and natural, suitable for this genre. His singing style is very 'down-to-earth,' and his masculine voice is a perfect match for me.”

Linh Nguyen's unfortunate childhood is one of the reasons Anh Tho wants to help her colleague. The male singer lost his father at birth. His mother also passed away when he was 9 years old. Linh Nguyen lived in an orphanage in Ba Vi. At the age of 12, he was taken in by relatives. The years spent living next to a house that frequently played sentimental music comforted and soothed the loneliness of the young boy. Bolero became Linh Nguyen's passion from that time.

A few years later, Linh Nguyen left his relatives' home to seek his fortune elsewhere. He did all sorts of jobs, from domestic work to gold mining, to make a living. Only when he met his adoptive parents was he able to continue his education. Linh Nguyen graduated from the Department of Traditional Opera at the University of Theatre and Film. He also won the silver medal at the National Folk Song and Singing Festival. After that, Linh Nguyen went to work at the Hanoi Cheo Theatre.

Linh Nguyen expressed his gratitude for Anh Tho's help. He said that besides recording, the female singer had to accompany him to many MV filming locations, and on some days, the two of them had to endure scorching heat of nearly 40 degrees Celsius. "Anh Tho is a great artist. She works professionally and supports me wholeheartedly. Regarding money, Anh Tho didn't take a single penny of my fee. She said she cherishes what I have done and am doing for music, and that's more important than the fee," he said.
