Performance at the Sen Village Singing Festival

Sharing his opinion about the 2025 Sen Village Singing Festival, People's Artist Pham Ngoc Khoi - Vice President of the Vietnam Musicians Association, member of the Jury, said that after a long time, re-organizing the national Sen Village Singing Festival is an extremely necessary and meaningful artistic, political and cultural activity.

The Lotus Village Singing Festival is not only an occasion to commemorate and pay tribute to the beloved leader, but also an opportunity for artists and mass art troupes across the country to gather and spread the profound humanistic values ​​of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style through songs and lyrics.

According to People's Artist Pham Ngoc Khoi, at this year's festival, the artistic quality of the performances by the mass art troupes is more professional than in previous festivals. The works are not only seriously invested in but also demonstrate the creativity, enthusiasm and deep gratitude of the artists towards Him. What is valuable is that many works carry profound messages, arousing national pride, love for the homeland and the desire to contribute of the people.

A highlight of this festival is the diversity in performance styles and content, reflecting the richness of cultural life in the regions. From the vast Central Highlands, the majestic Northwest, to the river delta, each art troupe brings its own unique characteristics – from music, dance to costumes – creating a colorful artistic picture of national culture.

It is this diversity that creates the festival's unique identity, expressing the blend of tradition and creativity, of personal feelings and national spirit.

Performance at the Sen Village Singing Festival

The Vice President of the Vietnam Musicians Association highly appreciated many performances with excellent artistic quality, especially solo dances and instrumental solos - where the artists fully expressed their talent, emotions and attachment to the image of Uncle Ho. The serious investment in every detail, from staging to expression, created memorable, lingering moments on stage.

In addition, we cannot fail to mention the contributions of the organizers, sponsors, and those who have silently supported this meaningful artistic activity. They are the ones who have given the artists, especially non-professional artists, the opportunity to express their talents and convey their feelings to beloved Uncle Ho and the public nationwide.

"What I have high expectations for is the strong presence of the young generation in this year's festival. They not only continue the tradition, but also bring new ways of expression, close to the breath of modern life. Despite their creativity, the young people still maintain the depth of their emotions, humanistic spirit and love for Uncle Ho. That is proof of the inheritance and sustainable development of the Vietnamese revolutionary art stream," People's Artist Pham Ngoc Khoi expressed.
