The pioneering generation "internationalizes" national identity

Bringing old music back to life in the rhythm of the times

Coming to Xam in 2020 and after only 5 years, the effort to bring old Xam "back to life" in the rhythm of the times, closer to young audiences has helped singer Ha Myo affirm herself and the artistic value she pursues. A typical example is the MV "Xam Ha Noi " combining Xam with modern music, EDM electronic music. Immediately after its release, the MV set a record for views for traditional music with many positive comments from the audience, especially young audiences. Because when listening to Xam under the creativity of a young person, the audience can rap and not be sentimental like the traditional way of singing.

For that reason, Ha Myo has performed Xam Xua on many large stages, with the participation of Party and State leaders. Notably, the young female singer has become a typical Young Vietnamese Face of 2022. "The effort to renew Xam Xua is Ha's ideal, desire and dream," the female singer said.

Ha Myo admitted that she had to be bold and pioneer to make a difference compared to many other artists. “Many audiences have left negative comments and opposing opinions, I always take the time to read and receive feedback from the community to improve my work every day. I hope to inspire more young people to preserve and promote traditional cultural values ​​of Vietnam to international friends,” Ha Myo said.

Singer Ha Myo brings Xam to the modern stage.

After more than 10 years of working in the arts, Gen Z singer Phuong My Chi has won many awards, such as the title of Outstanding Young Citizen of Ho Chi Minh City in 2024 and Promising Young Vietnamese Face in 2024. "To overcome difficulties, I always look back at the reason why I started my artistic path, which is my passion for music and love for national traditions. There are always many young people around me. It is the encouragement and trust of the audience that gives me abundant energy to continue firmly on the artistic path I have chosen," said singer Phuong My Chi.

With a love for Vietnamese culture, in which folk culture is an endless source of inspiration for the artistic creation process, Phuong My Chi always wants to spread that value to the audience on her artistic journey.

Creating spiritual values ​​of regional stature

One of the values ​​of art and what makes a singer's brand is the humanity crystallized from the music product. In Vietnam, the cultural industry is developing with many types that are popular abroad but have just been introduced into the country, especially the rap genre. In recent years, many young people have made a strong move with rap music, composing rap based on everyday material, such as singer Den Vau or Bui Xuan Truong (Double2T), young rapper Xe Xe...

"My light is the stove, the book, the notebook and the lesson/ The oil lamp is about to burn out and a dream of going to university/ If tomorrow the lamp doesn't light up, what will I do? Then my tears fall on the page, my mother asks why I'm crying/ And I once dreamed, I would be able to steal the sunlight/ To bring light to every village, to dance happily everywhere".

Those are the rap lyrics of Double2T that touched the hearts of the audience and awakened the compassion of the community. His rap music is like a warm confession that encapsulates his difficult childhood, growing up in the Tay ethnic village of Ban Lai, Phuc Son commune, Lam Binh district, Tuyen Quang province. Wherever he goes, Double2T always finds a way to "do something" for his homeland. Therefore, he and the Tu Thien That group implemented the "Stealing the Sun" project, bringing solar power everywhere.

At the 2024 Outstanding Young Vietnamese Faces Award Ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh mentioned "3 pioneers" and "6 focuses"; including pioneering the nationalization of human civilization in our country and internationalizing advanced culture, imbued with national identity of Vietnam to the world.

“Vietnamese youth must constantly make breakthroughs, create new and unique cultural products imbued with national cultural identity; at the same time, select and absorb cultural quintessence recognized by humanity, contributing to the strong development of cultural industry and entertainment industry, creating new spiritual values ​​of regional and world stature and constantly enhancing the cultural enjoyment value of our people. Ultimately, cultural products, cultural industry and entertainment industry must bring to our people the enjoyment of a civilized culture in the world and a culture of national identity of our country”, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized.
