Den Vau's song about highland children attracts attention

Den Vau raps in the MV "Cooking for you"

The song garnered 2.5 million views after two days of release, ranking second in the top trending MVs on YouTube Vietnam, after Making My Way (Son Tung M-TP). The audio version also entered the top 10 of the Apple Music digital music system in Vietnam.

In the MV, the rapper and his friends visit students at two boarding schools, Sa Tong Primary and Secondary School (Muong Cha, Dien Bien), and personally prepare meals for children in the highlands. He plays with the children and gives them specialties from his hometown of Quang Ninh such as shrimp, squid rolls, and shrimp paste stewed with meat. The MV is a gift from Den Vau to his fans before the live show at My Dinh Sports and Athletics Palace (Hanoi) on May 27.

The song has an acoustic sound with an opening guitar. The rapper invited singer PiaLinh (Huong Linh) to perform the chorus with a gentle, clear singing style. In the lyrics, Den Vau continues to promote his strengths in rhyming and wordplay. He writes about the path to school of children in the highlands with poetic images: "The sun is as yellow as fried eggs/ When I stand straight, the mountains and hills must tilt". He inspires children to study, suggesting an optimistic future: "When I grow up, I will swim in the world, I will swim as well as Anh Vien". In many rap verses, he speaks in a voice like a friendly conversation.

"We all have to learn to get better day by day.

No one is good at first because they don't know what to do.

Then look at the good people around you and see what they do and follow suit.

And there are many good people out there."

Den Vau cherishes the project of raising children in the highlands to go to school with a new MV

Den Vau said he would donate the revenue from the song's listens and views to help build schools and provide free meals for children. The rapper said: "I believe that good deeds can still come from small things, such as a hair clip for my sister, a ball for my brother, teddy bears, a delicious meal." When he called for support, many colleagues supported him by contributing. Director Phuong Vu and the filming unit moved from Ho Chi Minh City to Dien Bien when Den Vau asked.

The song received a lot of response from the audience. Le Thi Ngoc Anh wrote: "Den's voice combined with Linh's voice creates a beautiful picture of the highlands. I have participated in charity work many times, watching Den's video motivates me to do more charity work". Musician To Hieu assessed the song as a composition "full of Den's character". "After listening to it, I feel more peaceful, because the most beautiful thing in this life is when people share and love each other", the musician said.

Rapper Den Vau's real name is Nguyen Duc Cuong, born in 1989 in Ha Long. Before becoming a singer, Den Vau worked as a garbage collector for seven years. The rapper started his career with the compositions Dua nhau di tro, Di theo bong mat troi, Troi oi con chua muon chet, Co gai ban ben, Ta va nang. In 2019, Den Vau held a live show to celebrate his 10th anniversary in Ho Chi Minh City, attracting more than 5,000 audiences. He is the Vietnamese artist with the most MVs topping YouTube's trending list (15 MVs).
