Viet Hoan emotionally remembers the memories of the letters... "death notices"
When the first melodies of the medley "The Road We Go" and "Let's March Together in the Midst of Spring" rang out, opening the show "The Country is Full of Joy" , the audience fell silent and then burst into emotion.
Under the stage lights, the "red music trio" Trong Tan, Dang Duong, and Viet Hoan appeared in elegant black suits, standing in front of the bright red national flag behind them, creating a space filled with national spirit.

It was the opening act of a “ musical march,” as music director Son Thach described it, a journey from North to South, from war zone to city, from heroic to romantic.
Continuing the program, songs such as: We go to battle today , Your car passed by on the Truong Son road,... continued to resound, full of spirit and excitement, like the heroic call of those who went to battle years ago.
After stirring up deep emotions in the audience with immortal songs, the "red music trio" changed their costumes and stepped onto the stage in soldier uniforms.
The atmosphere became even more emotional when the three singers performed heroic songs about the Capital in the midst of bombs and bullets, such as the songs Hanoi - Dien Bien Phu in the air , Hanoi - sleepless nights...

Trong Tan shared that wearing a soldier's uniform to sing these songs was a special experience, making him feel more deeply about the heroic history and pride of a generation that has dedicated itself to today's peace .
In the proud journey of the Vietnamese army and people, there cannot be a lack of songs filled with feelings from the home front, where mothers, wives, and lovers wait day and night.
The love chorus , a song rarely performed by a trio, has now become an emotional highlight of the journey of “advancing with music” with a new arrangement by musician Son Thach. The harmonious voices of singers Trong Tan, Dang Duong and Viet Hoan have successfully portrayed the story of love and longing and waiting in the midst of war.
Singer Dang Duong said that the "red music trio" has performed together in many shows, but this is only the third live show that the three veteran singers have organized together (Photo: Organizer).
For Trong Tan, April 30 is not only a milestone for the country, but also the moment that opened up his life. He was born in 1976, a year after his father, a special forces soldier, returned from the battlefield after the reunification day.
“If it weren’t for April 30th that year, there wouldn’t be me today,” Trong Tan said emotionally. For the male singer, First Spring is not only a song about peace, but also the first spring in his life.
Unlike Trong Tan, Viet Hoan keeps more specific “pieces” of memories. His childhood is associated with the image of young soldiers leaving right next to his house, many of them only 17 years old. He witnessed tearful farewells and saw death notices sent home silently.
“My house has a bomb shelter. I still remember one time when I was eating, the alarm went off and the whole family rushed into the shelter. Those memories have never faded in me,” Viet Hoan shared with emotion. Being able to stand on stage today, singing for those who lived and went through those years, is something that Viet Hoan calls “sacred”.

The audience became the "choir" of the music night.
The presence of singer Anh Tho in the music night was also an impressive highlight. During the performance of Co gai mo duong , the female singer proactively took off her in-ear headphones to blend directly with the audience, creating a close and lively moment.
With her distinctive folk voice, Anh Tho is like a soft, soaring thread, connecting the past with the present, between the sounds of her homeland and the fighting spirit of women in wartime.

Besides, People's Artist Quang Tho - the teacher who guided all 3 male artists in the early days of their careers, and also the one who "suggested" combining the trio together, appeared in the audience as a meaningful encouragement for his students.
Singer Dang Duong shared: "Although we sing together in many shows, every time we stand next to each other, the emotions are still intact, like reliving the ideals and love for revolutionary music."
The atmosphere of the concert not only lingered on the stage, but also spread to every row of the audience. During the performance Uncle Ho still marches with us , when the whole audience sang along, Trong Tan could not hide his joy and emotion.
“I would like to thank our choir today. When singing karaoke, I always lose to my audience,” Trong Tan looked at the audience and shared humorously.
Trong Tan said that whenever he sings songs about his homeland and country, he is as nervous as if it were his first performance (Photo: Organizer).
As a veteran who participated in the resistance war against America, Mr. Nguyen Ba Vi (62 years old, Hanoi) shared that this was a rare time he shed tears during a music program.
“Although the concert was postponed due to the sad events of the whole country, I still waited. And today, I am truly satisfied. The artists not only sang, but they recounted the past through music, with all their hearts. I rarely cry, but I shed tears during tonight's concert,” Mr. Vi confided.
After 29 performances by the trio, the program ended with the song " The Country is Full of Joy" , a victory anthem, with the colors of the Liberation flag filling the auditorium.
