Le Thuy - Phuong Lien cried while singing a vọng cổ song for more than 50 years

Dinh Tri shared that this time he and Le Thuy's mother went on tour in the US because a show producer mentioned that May is Le Thuy's birthday, so they wanted to organize it, both to celebrate her birthday and to create an opportunity for the audience who love Le Thuy to meet and listen to her voice again.

The cozy program, in addition to Le Thuy, also had the participation of artists Chau Thanh, Thoai My, Kim Tieu Long...

Especially the participation of artist Phuong Lien. Because artist Phuong Lien's health is not good, she has limited her singing in recent years.

In the program, artist Le Thuy sang excerpts from To Anh Nguyet with Chau Thanh. In addition, she also sang three folk songs such as Thuong Qua Viet Nam, Dem Lanh Chua Hoang ...

Thoại Mỹ and Kim Tiểu Long sang excerpts from The Lady of the Camellias . Châu Thanh also sang an old folk song.

MOTHER'S DAUGHTER - LE THUY - PHUONG LIEN

The show's "key" song was the reunion of the artists Phuong Lien and Le Thuy. The two artists performed again the song " Con gai cua me" (music: Giao Tien, lyrics: Loan Thao) which they recorded in 1972.

The traditional song immediately became famous and was associated with the names Phuong Lien - Le Thuy because of the combination of two excellent female voices of the Cai Luong village. To this day, many audiences still listen to this song over and over again on social networks.

Then she burst into tears, Phuong Lien cried too, the other artists also shed tears and the audience could not hold back their tears. The golden generation of cai luong has entered its twilight years...

Phuong Lien missed her live show appointment with the audience

Remember in 2023, artist Phuong Lien plans to return home to do a live show called Cung dan tri an - Artist Phuong Lien and friends at Ben Thanh Theater.

At that time, Mr. Hoang Song Viet, the company representative who applied for a license to organize Phuong Lien's show at that time, said that due to her old age and poor health, this could be considered Phuong Lien's last live show with the wish to sing with close colleagues and use the money from the show for charity.

However, later due to high blood pressure, Phuong Lien fainted so the show was canceled.

Up to now, according to information provided by Dinh Tri, Phuong Lien's health is still not good, so when she and Le Thuy sang the song "Mother's Daughter" again, everyone was nervous, afraid that she would not be healthy enough to perform the whole performance.

Artist Phuong Lien was born in 1947 in Can Tho . She is considered a cai luong artist of the "golden generation" along with artists Minh Canh, Minh Phung, Ngoc Giau, My Chau, Le Thuy, Minh Vuong...

Around 1963 she became a leading actress, and in 1966 won the prestigious Thanh Tam award. Phuong Lien is considered one of the "queens" of the music industry because of her soft, elegant, and emotional voice.

She is currently residing in the United States.
