The musical path - Remembering Vi and Giam by Meritorious Artist To Nga will "mark" the most important milestones, major turning points in her musical career, vividly depicting the image of To Nga's artistic path filled with love for Nghe An.

To Nga will tell about the place where she was born and raised - Ha Tinh , about the beloved Vi and Giam songs that nurtured her soul, giving her a singing voice imbued with the deep emotions of the Central people. And when she grew up, wandering around a foreign land, going through all the storms, but in the end, no matter where she is, what she does, her homeland and the Vi and Giam songs always embrace her, protect her, give her a constant shelter to have peace in the present.

“I am a child who always has a heavy heart for my family and my homeland. In life or career, ups and downs, wandering, happy or sad… I always return to my hometown, to find my parents to take refuge. On the first day I was awarded the title of Meritorious Artist, I also ran back to my hometown to burn incense at the ancestral temple to express my gratitude to my ancestors for giving me such a blessing. No matter what happens, I always run back to my hometown, sometimes I am sad and dare not say it, but living in the heart of my hometown, with my parents, I feel supported,” Meritorious Artist To Nga shared.
