The musicians performed on 7 traditional instruments including monochord, moon lute, pipa, erhu, zither, bamboo flute and drum. The MV is very creative in combining folk melodies with modern arrangements.

Folk melodies from three regions such as Qua cau gio bay (Bac Ninh folk song), Ly tinh tang (Hue folk song) and Ly ngua o (Southern folk song) are skillfully combined with modern rhythms of electronic music, even DJ... creating a unique timbre for a traditional instrumental concert.
