The US Embassy in Vietnam in collaboration with Hexagon Company organized the Southeast Asia Music Festival - SEA Pride at the American Club, 21 Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi on June 25.

As an annual music festival, SEA Pride Concert and Community Event 2016 returns with careful preparation. “Color with your music” is the main message that the program wants to convey. The festival aims at an open, respectful and equal space for young people, who come from different ages and genders, but all have a love for music, a desire for freedom and cherish every passing moment of life.

The show features top DJ from the US: DJ Lina.

With the aim of bringing young people a diverse and colorful music space, this will be a grand, attractive and new music and art party. SEA Pride has a combination of many different music genres such as Indie, Pop, Rock and EDM. At the same time, the program also brings together many famous artists from the US, Singapore, Philippines, UK such as DJ Lina, Hang up the Moon, Nibiru Band, along with top bands and singers in Vietnam such as Noo Phuoc Thinh, Microwave, Oplus, Ngu Cung... Attendees will enjoy eye-catching performances. In particular, this is also a common playground for the LGBT community (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) when carrying the message of openness, respect for differences and diversity.

Singer Noo Phuoc Thinh is an attractive element of the program.

With the support of the US Embassy in Vietnam, SEA Pride 2016 wants to spread a humane message that "every person has different characteristics since birth". It is these differences that give each individual a uniqueness that cannot be confused with anyone else. In addition, these differences have contributed to creating diversity and color for this life. Therefore, it does not matter who you are or what differences you have, as long as you want to live to the fullest, live every moment, music will be the most common language that connects you with the people around you, bringing you the most complete emotions.

Representing the organizing committee, Mr. Nguyen Tuan Viet, General Director of Hexagon Company, said: “The 2016 Sea Pride Music Festival is one of a series of activities to celebrate 21 years of Vietnam - US relations. In addition to the purpose of cultural exchange, honoring the value of colorful, borderless music, the event also calls for raising awareness of the LGBT community and creating a vibrant music playground for Hanoi youth. We also continue to aim for the long-term goal - to build an international music festival with prestige, regional and international standards; as well as to build a brand and community cultural products of the capital”.
