For Duong Thuy Anh, I am like someone who calls for rain to sow seeds.

Duong Thuy Anh's magical musical space

The album "Lang" is a product marking the 40-year journey with the erhu of Meritorious Artist Duong Thuy Anh - a talented female artist of Vietnamese traditional music, who is always "romantic" and "crazy" on stage, with sounds that she handles extremely skillfully, delicately and skillfully.

The novelty in "Lang " is the combination of traditional musical instruments such as the zither, monochord, and bamboo flute. There, the traditional Vietnamese erhu is performed by the female artist in all the works as a continuous connecting thread, along with Western musical instruments to bring a colorful and varied musical space.

"To make this album, there were times when Duong Thuy Anh played the guitar until her arms were numb and she couldn't move. I always appreciate her love for her career. It can be said that, to me, Lang is a quality album. When I listen to it, I find that this product is no different from international albums of the same genre."

Meanwhile, musician Vo Thien Thanh shared: "For Duong Thuy Anh and Bao Lan, I am like someone calling for rain so that the seeds can grow with burning passion and desire to explore new musical landscapes. As for me, the two of them are the inspiration for me to seek new musical spaces."

Beautiful picture in the album Listen

The 06 works in the album Lang bring together materials that are interwoven together like a beautiful painting. There, Lang tells about a majestic, mysterious forest where through the music, listeners seem to discover the intense and eternal life taking place in the forest. The musical developments in the album take the audience along with the emotional realms and evoke visualization, emotional interaction in the listener's mind to paint a picture for themselves following each piece of music.

The musical color in Lang is more romantic, more quality and more harmonious with the vocal of artist Bao Lan. Bao Lan shows that she handles high notes well and has beautiful rhythms.

With Listen , listeners will Cross the forest to welcome the first rays of sunlight opening the shadow of a Temple in the mist to listen to the prayer with the wish for peace for all things in this universe, then find themselves serene and peaceful in the House on the Prairie. That joy and warmth blends with the Firefly Dance to create an interesting ending with many rhythms, evoking a feeling of enjoyment after a journey in the forest.
