HCM CITY — The celebration of the 20th anniversary of Làn Sóng Xanh (Green Wave), a radio programme launched by the Voice of HCM City (VOH) radio station to promote Vietnamese music, opened with a photo exhibition on Nguyễn Huệ Pedestrian Street in District 1 on October 14-15.

The exhibition titled “The 20 Years of Làn Sóng Xanh Show” showcases images of the programme, concerts and Blue Wave awards ceremonies held in the last 20 years.

The exhibits feature photos of numerous Vietnamese singers and composers who got exposure through the programme, such as Phương Thanh, Đan Trường, Hà Anh Tuấn, Lê Quang and Bảo Chấn. They are considered to be the golden generation of Vietnamese music.

Along with the exhibition is a two-night concert featuring famous singers, including Cẩm Vân, Thanh Lam, Mỹ Linh, Lam Trường and Phương Thanh.

The singers will perform the 20 songs which brought them Blue Wave Awards.

Composer Lê Quang, general director of the concert, said “The two-night outdoor concert will be a party of music to the city residents and visitors. The 20 favourite songs will be remixed to surprise the audiences.”

Following these events will be a Gala VIP show held on January 12 at the 7th Military Zone Gymnasium in Tân Bình District.

At the event, the organisers will give away awards to organisations and individuals who have contributed to the country’s music industry over the last 20 years.
