However, when performing this very familiar song, Bui Huyen Trang brought a new vitality, true to the style of the Gen Z generation.

"I had a very special feeling when performing "Love of the Land" at the 40th anniversary of the first issue of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper. Especially, because the song is about the land, about the fields, about the countryside, about the love of the countryside... and Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper is a newspaper of farmers, the countryside, agriculture, so everything is intertwined and blended together. I have performed "Love of the Land" at many events, but this is the first time there has been such a strange coincidence.

To me, "Love of the Land" is a very familiar song because each lyric is very close and simple. I am very happy to perform the song in the style of young people so that the song has a new and modern feel," said Bui Huyen Trang.

After this song, Bui Huyen Trang also sang a duet with singer Viet Tu in the song "Love of the silver sea and green fields". Although this was the first time the two sang a duet on stage, they coordinated very well and blended well. Viet Tu has a deep, warm and sweet voice; Bui Huyen Trang has a clear, resonant voice and is proficient in chamber music techniques. Both of them made "Love of the silver sea and green fields" have a new and delicate color.

Last night, singer Viet Tu also performed the song "A Circle of Vietnam" with a dance performance by the Sen Viet Dance Group. "A Circle of Vietnam" is a song composed by musician Dong Thien Duc that is "making waves" on online music sites. The lyrics of the song are like a colorful picture of the beautiful homeland of Vietnam. The melody of the song is cheerful, bustling and hearty. With a warm baritone voice, Viet Tu performed "A Circle of Vietnam" in the style of someone born in the 8x generation, full of sophistication, modernity and pride of the Vietnamese people.

At the Gala celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first issue of Nong Thon Ngay Nay, singer Viet Tu also stirred up the atmosphere with the English song "Dancing all night". The excitement of the song made many audiences stand up and dance along.

Meanwhile, Bui Huyen Trang also performed two songs "Old Love" and "Spring Returns to the Mountains". Originally a singer pursuing classical chamber music, Bui Huyen Trang was very inspired by the lyrical, romantic and sweet melodies of these two songs.

During the Gala night of Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper, singer-songwriter Giang Sol also performed the song "Hanoi 12 seasons of flowers", artist Quyen Van Minh also joined in the fun with two saxophone pieces "Ve que" by musician Pho Duc Phuong and "Que huong" by musician Giap Van Thach, poet Nguyen Viet Chien also read the song "Mua xuan am" composed by himself to the event guests. The Nong Thon Ngay Nay newspaper also sent to the guests attending the Gala party the performance "Forty years of brightening up the countryside" to the tune of Van singing.
