Honoring traditional culture
In the Vietnamese youth music scene, Hoa Minzy is one of the female artists interested in incorporating traditional music and cultural elements into her music products. In 2023, the female singer released the MV "Thi Mau" with the participation of People's Artist Thu Huyen, inspired by the folk story of Thi Mau and ancient Cheo melodies.
Two years later, Hoa Minzy suddenly released the MV “Bac Bling” with a strong folk and traditional feel, from the images, characters to the melody. The MV continues to mark the collaboration between Hoa Minzy, musician Tuan Cry and talented producer Masew.

This is the largest scale product in the singer's career, expressing her deep love for her hometown Bac Ninh as well as her desire to honor the beauty and cultural values here.
"Bac Bling" is not only a musical product, but also a folk story, combining traditional music and modern breath.
The song title "Bac Bling" has a special meaning, expressing Hoa Minzy's desire to bring the beautiful, sparkling and shining image of Bac Ninh into music. According to Hoa Minzy, she received approval from the leaders of Bac Ninh province for the word "Bling" with a positive and modern meaning, helping to fully express the spirit of the song.

The MV honors the most beautiful images of Bac Ninh homeland, from quan ho, conical hats, the dike along the riverbank with the grand procession in the festival, the custom of betel and betel offering, to the typical scenic spots of Bac Ninh such as Dau pagoda, Ba Chua Kho temple, Phu Lang pottery village...
These cultural characteristics are not only expressed through images but also "told" through the lyrics of Hoa Minzy, Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh and artist Tuan Cry, with Lim festival, heroic battles against foreign invaders on the Nhu Nguyet River in history, the custom of worshipping Mother Goddesses...

The most special feature of the MV is the participation of 300 people in Lac Xa, Que Tan, Que Vo, Bac Ninh - Hoa Minzy's hometown, from nearly 90-year-old elders to primary and secondary school children... The presence of these special "guests" has brought a truly different color to the MV.
Hoa Minzy said: "For previous music products, Hoa Minzy often hired extras. This project is completely different because the extras in the project are all Kinh Bac people, all relatives, neighbors, from the same village, the same place where Hoa was born and raised since childhood. This is a special thing that Hoa thinks showbiz has never had before."
The female singer said that gathering hundreds of actors who are simple people, not used to acting, not used to the camera, to focus on 3 days of filming in the cold weather of the North at the beginning of the year is very difficult. But the villagers are still excited, happily encouraging each other to have the spirit of filming... That shows the great neighborly love, making the female singer very emotional and feeling that she has more motivation to complete the scenes in the best way.

During the filming of the MV "Bac Bling", the moments with the villagers were always special memories for Hoa Minzy. “One of the most memorable memories was the scene where an old lady, nearly 90 years old, with black teeth chewing betel - a typical image of Northern culture. At first, she was quite shy in front of the camera, every time the camera was pressed, she could not act naturally. However, thanks to the encouragement and teasing of the villagers around her, who were close to her, the old lady suddenly burst into laughter while the camera was running. That moment was so beautiful that the whole crew burst into tears of surprise because it was so excellent” - Hoa Minzy recalled.
The image of the old lady with a sparkling black tooth smile, both realistic and cinematic, left a special mark on the MV.
Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh raps for the first time
In the MV “Bac Bling”, for the first time, Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh appeared, not as the king of cheo comedy, but as a rapper and sang with the female singer in some parts. His presence, a monument of the traditional art stage, brought a big surprise to the public.
Talking about the participation of the king of comedy in the MV, singer Hoa Minzy said that right from the idea of the MV "Bac Bling", Hoa Minzy thought of gathering the best children of Bac Ninh in an art project about Bac Ninh. "Comedian Xuan Hinh is an art monument in the hearts of the public, and especially, he is also a son of his hometown Bac Ninh. Hoa thought that she had to invite Uncle Xuan Hinh for the project to be truly meaningful and become more wonderful" - Hoa Minzy said.

Initially, without any contact from Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh, Hoa sent a message to his fanpage: “Hello, I am singer Hoa Minzy, a young singer from my hometown Bac Ninh. I have a project in Bac Ninh soon and would like to invite you to participate. Could you please give me your phone number so I can contact you?”
Surprisingly, the next day, Meritorious Artist Xuan Hinh texted Hoa his phone number. After that, Hoa called and talked with the artist for about two hours about the project, the content and meaning of the song. “When I sent the song to you, Hoa was very happy because you really liked this song. Right after that, you agreed to participate in the project, recording and filming the MV with Hoa. Now, when looking at the results, Hoa feels extremely wonderful and is very grateful to Uncle Xuan Hinh for participating in this project, helping the project become more meaningful and significant" - Hoa Minzy shared.
