People's Artist Huynh Tu and SOOBIN share the stage at Hoa Xuan Ca 2026.
The performance of "Mục hạ vô nhân" by People's Artist Huỳnh Tú and SOOBIN at Hoa Xuân Ca 2026 made a strong impression with its cultural exchange and touching family moments.
The 2026 Spring Flower Music Festival recently witnessed a special performance as People's Artist Huynh Tu shared the stage for the first time with his son, SOOBIN. The collaboration between two generations of artists, along with the participation of rapper Binz in the song "Muc Ha Vo Nhan," created a highlight with a strong sense of heritage for this year's program.
The intersection of traditional and modern music
"Mục hạ vô nhân," SOOBIN's standout song of 2025, has been completely revamped with the addition of the zither playing of People's Artist Huỳnh Tú. To create this work, SOOBIN and the SpaceSpeakers group spent considerable time researching various folk art forms such as xẩm singing, ca trù, chèo, and tuồng in order to find a unique path for contemporary music.
People's Artist Huynh Tu couldn't hide his emotion witnessing his son's progress. He shared that from a once-crybaby boy, SOOBIN now knows how to continue and breathe life into the heritage values he once taught. This collaboration is not just a performance, but also a message about the continuity of consciousness between young generations of artists and the soul of the nation.
A message about the continuity of heritage.
For SOOBIN, inviting his father to perform was a meaningful opportunity to reflect on his musical journey since childhood. He expressed that he felt fortunate to have learned the zither from his father, and now he can create quality artistic products with him on large stages like Hoa Xuan Ca.
Choosing to incorporate traditional elements into mainstream music demonstrates a profound direction for SOOBIN. In a rapidly changing music scene, maintaining a connection to his heritage allows the singer to both reinvent himself and solidify his position in the public's heart.
The moment People's Artist Huynh Tu 'selected a daughter-in-law' on television.
Besides the professional aspects, the backstage interactions between the artists' families and the hosts Quoc Bao and Thuy Van also brought much laughter. People's Artist Huynh Tu surprised everyone by openly expressing his desire to find a daughter-in-law who understands and loves music right on television.
He shared that, while proud of his son's talent, as a parent, he couldn't help but worry that SOOBIN had turned 30 and was still unmarried. The humorous interaction when SOOBIN subtly glanced at his father became a delightful moment, adding to the warmth and intimacy of the 2026 Spring Flower Song program.
