Ha Anh Tuan, Bui Lan Huong, and Hoang Dung were three guests at the Spring Train concert by singer and musician Phan Manh Quynh, which took place on the evening of April 6 in Hanoi .

Previously, on the evening of January 4, the first concert Winter Train took place very successfully in Ho Chi Minh City with the participation of two guests My Tam and Bui Cong Nam.

Ha Anh Tuan: "Phan Manh Quynh's music will last for decades"

In 2018, when inviting Phan Manh Quynh to participate in the Romance concert , Ha Anh Tuan wished Phan Manh Quynh would have his own concert and Tuan believed Quynh would do it.

"Quynh has done it. Over the past 10 years, Phan Manh Quynh's music has gone on a long and valuable journey to where it is today. I believe Phan Manh Quynh's music will not only last for a decade but for many more decades to come," said Ha Anh Tuan.

The artist added that Vietnamese music is so good and "Phan Manh Quynh is one of the outstanding representatives of the young generation of Vietnamese musicians using the Vietnamese language".

Ha Anh Tuan also did not forget to be humorous when calling Phan Manh Quynh "king of film music", "lord of words", "comedian of Nghe An", asking many audiences "are you coming to Phan Manh Quynh's concert today to meet fellow Nghe An people?"

Ha Anh Tuan's interaction made the audience "explode". Phan Manh Quynh responded to his senior: "If it weren't for Ha Anh Tuan, I don't know what would happen to Phan Manh Quynh", "Without Ha Anh Tuan, there would be no Phan Manh Quynh".

The two have had many memorable projects, most notably Short Stories 2019 - a live concert introducing a series of new compositions, never released as singles, MVs or albums before by Phan Manh Quynh.

Among them, many songs became hits of Ha Anh Tuan, and at the same time brought the name Phan Manh Quynh closer to the audience after the hit " Vo nguoi ta" .

At the Spring Train many years later, the two reunited on the same stage to talk about the past, performing together the songs Foreign Countries and Spring. And it had been a long time since the audience had heard Ha Anh Tuan sing Roses and Girl and Piano with such emotion.

Phan Manh Quynh sings poorly but that's okay.

It must be said that Phan Manh Quynh can only sing a certain number of songs. The rest, in general... has not fully expressed the beauty and sophistication in his music. If we take 100% as a measure, then his vocal ability is only about half.

In Spring Train , when Hoang Dung or Ha Anh Tuan sings or contributes their voices, the musical space becomes truly sublime and peaceful.

But no matter!

The simplicity, sincerity, and fullness of more than 50% of Phan Manh Quynh fits perfectly with this artist's musical identity.

Mr. Trinh Cong Son has a saying like this: "When you sing a love song, you want to sing about your love. Sing it without hesitation." That can be said about Phan Manh Quynh.

Not to mention, the audience doesn't just come to the concert to hear Phan Manh Quynh sing, they also come to hear him "comedy", to hear him tell stories or the origin of a "cold" of a certain song with an unchanged expression but still making the audience laugh out loud.

Phan Manh Quynh is a "bland storehouse" whose audiences always praise him as "charming" and "so funny". Some people even think that if one day he stops composing, he can completely turn to stand-up comedy or become a comedian. How strange.

But most of all, the music lovers of this "tree-writing" musician gather at the train station to catch a train that has been traveling non-stop for the past 10 years.

Having become famous with a hit full of commercial music like "Someone's Wife" , when arriving at the final stop of his decade-long journey, Phan Manh Quynh "pocketed" many more compositions with depth and emotion, loved by a large audience.

Without formal musical training, Quynh came to music naturally and simply and made continuous efforts for that dream. Now, to temporarily close a small journey, we see in it a significant maturity.

At this final station, when listening to Quynh sing "Someone's Wife" , the audience no longer wonders "is that Phan Manh Quynh from the soundtrack series in Ngay Xua Co Mot Chuyen Tinh, or Ngay Chua Sam Bao , Xuan Thi ...?".

Because no matter what his face looks like, it's still Phan Manh Quynh. For this artist, every day he lives and writes adds something interesting.

In Spring Train , thousands of audiences sang along to many of Phan Manh Quynh's songs; to see how loved his music is.

Last night, April 6, Phan Manh Quynh was definitely the happiest person.
