According to the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, the music video was created to express the profound respect and gratitude of generations of city residents towards President Ho Chi Minh, while also spreading pride in Ho Chi Minh City.
Through music and visuals, the work aims to inspire patriotism, responsibility, creativity, and a desire to contribute in every citizen in the process of building Ho Chi Minh City into a rapidly and sustainably developing city in the new era.
The city named after President Ho Chi Minh is also a tribute to those who have been connected to, studied, worked, and contributed to the land named after him.
The music video also contributes to encouraging the study and emulation of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and style through its relatable and emotionally rich presentation.
One of the highlights of the project is that all funding was mobilized from social resources. Many organizations, individuals, and artists voluntarily contributed their expertise, equipment, time, and effort to complete the work, demonstrating a spirit of collaboration for a cultural project that is meaningful and commemorates a historical milestone of the city.
The music video brings together over 50 artists in various roles such as songwriting, arranging, performing, filming, producing, and post-production. The participation of so many artists has created a highly artistic work, while also reflecting the spirit of unity among the city's cultural and artistic community in celebrating this important event.
From 7 PM on July 1st, "The City Shines in the Name of the Great Leader" was simultaneously released on the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee's electronic portal, the YouTube channel and fanpage of the City's Literary and Artistic Criticism, cultural and artistic information pages, fanpages of wards, communes, and special zones in Ho Chi Minh City, and many social media platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok of artists and KOLs participating in the project.
Through its widespread release on digital platforms, the organizers hope the music video will strongly spread positive values, contributing to fostering love for the homeland, pride, and the aspiration to build Ho Chi Minh City into an increasingly civilized, modern, and compassionate city in its new development phase.
