HÀ NỘI — Renowned singer Đăng Dương, known for his heartfelt patriotic songs, will be revisiting his 30-year musical journey in a special live show scheduled for September.

The concert, titled "Tổ Quốc Gọi Tên Mình" (The Country Calls Our Name), takes its name from the memorable performance Đăng Dương once delivered for Vietnamese soldiers stationed on the Trường Sa Archipelago.

“My journey to Trường Sa to perform for soldiers was really special and memorable. Thinking about Trường Sa, I always understand that our soldiers have experienced many hardships, and even devoted their lives to guard our sea and islands. Being an artist, everything I can do is to offer my songs to praise our homeland, our country, and to pay tribute to previous generations,” he said.

The lineup of guest artists does not include Trọng Tấn and Việt Hoàn, who, alongside Đăng Dương, had formed a formidable trio known for their revolutionary music performances. Over the past two decades, the trio has enthralled audiences with popular hits, garnering a substantial fanbase.

However, for this concert, instead of veteran singers, the stage will be graced by young guest artists, including chamber singer Đào Tố Loan, the all-men-member music band OPlus, and internationally-awarded conductor Đồng Quang Vinh.

Regarding the inclusion of young artists, Dương explained that the upcoming liveshow aims to present "a new, fresh, and modern portrayal of Đăng Dương."

“For me, performing together with young artists is a way to inspire the love for revolution music to new generations. This is also the way for revolutionary tunes to be preserved and spread widely.

“I hope that the revolutionary music will receive appreciation from the mass audience because it is associated with our nation's glorious history, presenting a fierce yet triumphant period as well as the abundant patriotism of Vietnamese people," he said.

Dương has carefully selected a list of 30 all-time-favourite revolutionary songs to perform.

The song list selected by Dương has challenged music producer Dương Cầm, who is the concert’s Music Director.

“With such a long list, I will combine parts of different songs to be a mashup. Although mashups are popular among modern music genres, it is very rare in revolution music. So I hope this fusion can offer the audience a fresh enjoyment,” said Cầm.

Liveshow Tổ Quốc Gọi Tên Mình by Đăng Dương will take place at the Friendship Palace in Hà Nội on August 26. — VNS
