HCM CITY — Vietnamese-American pop stars Tuấn Ngọc and Thanh Hà will perform in HCM City and the city of Đà Lạt in Lâm Đồng Province to celebrate Christmas and New Year.

Ngọc will sing love songs written by talented composers such as Trịnh Công Sơn, Từ Công Phụng, Phạm Duy and Ngô Thụy Miên. These works were famous in the 1960s-70s and have won the hearts of Vietnamese audiences for generations. 

Ngọc, whose real name is Lữ Anh Tuấn, was born in a traditional family in Đà Lạt in 1947. He began his singing career when he was a boy. 

He performed in a children’s variety radio programme in South Việt Nam in the 1960s.

He joined several bands, including the Strawberry Four and the Top Five, that performed pop music in the South in the 70s.

After moving to southern California, he became a popular singer in the overseas Vietnamese community, where his style and interpretation of music endeared him to audiences.

He released more than 50 singles and albums and many music videos. 

He has performed in several solo shows and concerts in HCM City and Hà Nội in recent years.  

Ngọc will dazzle his fans with two mini shows at the Mây Saigon Live Stage on 99 Nguyễn Thị Minh Khai Street, District 1. Tickets are available at the website MAYSAIGON.NET.

The first show entitled Man in Suit X’Mas with Tuấn Ngọc will open at 8.30pm on December 24.
