ZURICH -- Vietnamese singer Mỹ Linh, her daughter Mỹ Anh, and the Anh Em Band performed in Zurich on August 17 at a concert organised by KIBV – Keep It Beautiful Vietnam and Empower Women Asia.

The event attracted a diverse audience and featured a blend of traditional and contemporary Vietnamese music. Mỹ Linh’s performance was complemented by Mỹ Anh’s modern interpretations, with the Anh Em Band providing a fusion of musical styles.

"I felt like I was back in Việt Nam,” said expatriate Vy Pham. “Hearing Mỹ Linh live was a dream come true. It was a moment of pride for all of us to see our culture celebrated in such a beautiful way here in Zurich.”

Foreign attendees also expressed their appreciation for the cultural experience. “I’ve always been fascinated by Vietnamese culture, and this concert gave me a deeper appreciation for it,” said Michael Ischmidt. “The music, the fashion, the entire experience was truly special. It was an honour to be a part of this celebration.”
