FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FATHERS AND BROTHERS

Not only is it an endless source of inspiration for musical composition, the Vietnam People's Army soldiers are also a topic of special significance to singers, especially young singers who are breathing the peaceful atmosphere that was exchanged for the blood and bones of their ancestors.

Although he has not been involved in the arts for long, singer Ho Minh Khanh (Cao Van Lau Theater) is often chosen to perform revolutionary songs. This brings joy but also puts Minh Khanh under a bit of pressure when he has to convey the spirit and meaning of revolutionary music. “Although I am a young person who has access to many types of modern music, I love revolutionary music passionately. Every time I am assigned to perform songs about the People's Army, Heroic Vietnamese Mothers, etc., I feel a strong love for the country, pride and deep gratitude to those who have sacrificed their lives to gain independence and freedom for the nation. Therefore, I want to use my voice and the melodies of music to spread and remind myself and the younger generation to always promote the revolutionary tradition of our ancestors to join hands to build a beautiful and rich homeland of Bac Lieu,” singer Minh Khanh shared.

Although the war has long gone, every time the melodies of revolutionary songs resound, people's hearts are filled with emotion. From there, we can appreciate the past more and live a useful life, living our best for our homeland and country today.
