Sing about homeland
“ Back to my hometown here in Tam Hai/ In the distance, the shade of coconut trees is faintly visible/ The familiar ferry waits at the river/ The nostalgia for my homeland stirs in my heart ”… Those are the loving lyrics that every Tam Hai resident always longs to remember when they go far away.
“Singing about my hometown Tam Hai” was composed by musician The Hien and composed by Hoang Hai during his visit to the island commune. Singer Bich Thuy, a Tam Hai native and former member of the Phu Sa band, performed this song quite successfully in the music video she dedicated to her hometown. Her sweet, soft voice, filled with nostalgia for her hometown, seemed to be breathed into every lyric and melody.
Singer Bich Thuy shared: “As a Tam Hai native, every time I miss my hometown, I turn to music . Songs imbued with love for my hometown like “Singing about Tam Hai, my hometown” always bring overflowing love to my heart.
Each lyric, each melody, each place name, the beauty of the countryside, culture, and life in the song seems to light up a warm flame of love for the land and people of Tam Hai for those who are far away to remember. Perhaps it is thanks to the love of music that the people of my hometown always love life, love the working life in the middle of the vast ocean...".
Not only singer Bich Thuy or famous singer Ngoc Son, Ngoc Hai... passionate in bolero singing, anyone who has ever set foot in Tam Hai has witnessed bolero singing somewhere in every small alley, on the boat waiting to go out to sea... People who stick to the sea all year round, with tanned skin, voices as loud as the wind and waves, suddenly turned into artists with smooth, profound singing, reducing the troubles of making a living...
Melody of love
Tam Hai people are simple and honest but also very warm and affectionate in their speech, in their cultural and artistic life in the village during festivals, ceremonies or on days when the sea is rough and they cannot go out to sea.
It seems that everyone in Tam Hai knows how to sing and many sing very well. With a life of storms at sea, when resting from fishing and waiting for harvest, only singing and lyrics can bring moments of relaxation and excitement.
It seems that many people here sing well because they drink cool, clear water from two ancient Cham wells that have existed for thousands of years. One well in Bac beach and one well in Nom beach are both located at the foot of Ban Than, surrounded by waves all year round.
The Cham vestiges are still here because the stone stele is worn out by the wind and dust of time, the ancient inscriptions and symbols engraved on the stele are no longer intact. The mystery of creation and the masterful wisdom of our ancestors have opened up a source of fresh water that is clear and never runs dry all year round in the middle of the oasis surrounded by waves.
Mr. Tran Van Tap - Head of Thuan An village, Tam Hai island commune said: “In this land, it seems like everyone can sing. Many people are passionate about music, have sweet voices, clear as the water in the village well. After each trip to sea, the young men in the village often gather together, drink a glass of rice wine, hold a guitar and sing bolero. Bolero is like the gentle sea hibiscus flower, full of love for the homeland and the country…”.
There is something very special, quite a few girls from other places because of loving the bolero of young men from the coastal villages became husband and wife. Like Ms. Nguyen Thi Su in Tam An, Phu Ninh, fell in love with the singing of Mr. Mai Xuan Diep in a chance meeting and became husband and wife until now.
In Thuan An village, the couple Chin and Le are mentioned by many people for their harmony in playing the guitar and singing the smooth, emotional bolero melodies. Amidst the hustle and bustle of work, the image of the husband playing the guitar and the wife singing to “entertain” visitors truly paints a picture that is no less romantic and poetic...
Watching the MV “Singing about my hometown Tam Hai”, I can see the love for my hometown that singer Bich Thuy put into it with all her heart. The image of the island commune appears through a beautiful high angle shot combined with Bich Thuy’s sweet voice, truly impressive: “ My Tam Hai, my island commune/ Here is Ban Than mountain stretching out to block the wind/ The sea waves are rolling, Hon Dua, Hon Mang/ The village is more colorful than ever/ The bustling singing still echoes every night ”…
