Khanh Ly combines with Tung Duong in Trinh's music night
Two singers performed in the program "Nguoi ve boong nho", taking place on May 4 and 5 at the Hanoi Opera House.
Tung Duong said singer Khanh Ly once advised him: "You should sing Trinh Cong Son's music more, sing to share love, find harmony in the soul among the immutable laws of life."
That motivated him to try his hand at the late musician's compositions. The male singer called Khanh Ly "Trinh's music legend" and was proud to stand on the same stage with her.
Khanh Ly shared that she once sang with her junior in the US. "Tung Duong's voice is passionate, melancholy, and a bit ghostly. I'm always excited to collaborate with young singers. In particular, Tung Duong is a unique singer, with rare opportunities to collaborate. He will perform with the mindset of a young person, with a unique, fresh perspective on Trinh's music," Khanh Ly said.
Tung Duong and Khanh Ly collaborated for the first time on a Vietnamese stage in the live show "Nguoi ve buon nho". |
At the age of 74, Khanh Ly said she sings simply, without showing off her technique: "Trinh Cong Son's lyrics are abstract and rich in meaning. Singers need to feel his thoughts. I was lucky to be close to the musician for a long time, so I understand his message about love, country, and people. Therefore, it is easier for me to sing Trinh's music than other singers."
During the music night, Khanh Ly and Tung Duong will perform songs such asLull me to sleep, Lull life away, Please give me, Dust - Distant love, Please let the sun sleep peacefully, Pilgrimage on the high hills, Footprints of paradise, Like flying storks, You come back and suddenly remember, Faded...In addition, saxophone artist Tran Manh Tuan participated in some performances.
