Just listen to Tung Duong and Ha Tran sing, don't look.

That is the "recommendation" of singer Tung Duong himself when sharing about the joint live show of two unique voices called Calling for Love which will take place on the evening of August 17 in Hanoi.

1.Calling love is a name that evokes a dreamy love of the past, given to the program by a foreign friend. “Ha Tran and I will definitely not satisfy the audience in terms of “visuals”. Just listen to us sing, don’t look” – Tung Duong “warned”.

In the live show, Tung Duong and Ha Tran will sing songs that are loved by many generations, in which the highlight will be about 10 duets. The two unique voices will also perform songs that they love but rarely have the opportunity to sing, for their "loyal audience": Tung Duong with Doc Dao and Ha Tran with Canh Cung 3.

Sharing about his “hit” and “picky” songs, Tung Duong said that Doc dao, The don bao, Ra ngo tung kinh… are among the songs that are rarely requested by the audience. Meanwhile, last year, Tung Duong sang Noi dao xa hundreds of times. Chiec khan pieu must be sung anywhere and is still requested until now. Another popular song that is often requested but Tung Duong is lazy to sing is Duong xa tuyet trang…

“Talking about the values ​​of a song, if it is not good in one aspect, it can be good in another. In fact, I see that songs that are not “popular”, not catchy, can be listened to for a long time, the more you listen, the more you discover the beauty and emotions of these songs that cannot be absorbed in any place and time. Of course, the essential thing is that the work must have a soul to go far. For example, Tran Tien’s music is often listened to for a long time, listened to a lot, from our parents’ generation to the present generation and even the future, we can still find something to like” – Tung Duong answered the question about the value of the “picky” songs that he loves.

2.Regarding his friendship with Ha Tran, Tung Duong shared: “We are not everyday friends but we have many things in common in music. That is the desire for new creations, the desire to explore the hidden things within ourselves. And no matter how the external environment affects us, we still maintain a great love for music.

When meeting Ha Tran, the music we talked about was not how a song was processed, but what the idea of ​​that song was or exchanging good and unpopular music genres with listeners to find creative inspiration.

Admitting that Ha Tran and Tung Duong have two different musical personalities, Tung Duong believes that there will be no overlap between him and Ha Tran. The two may have similar paths, so there will be interesting combinations.

“In life, at each stage people have to face difficulties. Artists have greater sensitivity, so when facing music, for them, artistic creation is a more tormenting internal struggle. We are eager not to sleep in one place, not wanting people to say we have gone all the way, but always want the wheel of creativity to not stop” – Tung Duong added about the “harmony” with Ha Tran in music.
