Call Me by Fire program, folk culture colors are clearly shown through each performance.
Many performances such as "Drum Rice", "Peach Willow", "Chiec Khan Pieu"... have given traditional songs a new, very modern and youthful look.
In this program, the audience had the opportunity to witness young artists such as Soobin Hoang Son singing "Chiec khan pieu", rapper Binz singing cheo with "Dao lieu" with People's Artist Thu Huyen, actor Truong The Vinh singing "Da co hoai lang"...
Traditional songs that are familiar to many generations are now transformed into youthful, modern versions with beautiful choreography, X-parts, and even rap and hip hop.
"Drum Rice" can be considered the first performance that brought "Call Me by Fire" to dominate forums after it aired.
The performance was creative in its combination of folk melodies, rap and R&B. The success and popularity of "Trong com" created the premise for the 4th performance - the competition stage with a series of folk songs with special variations, blending many unique elements.
There, "Rain on Hue Street", "Peach Blossom", "Pieu Scarf"... with the five-panel ao dai and the soldier's green shirt create a unique cultural picture.
After that, the audience who loved the show also learned about and loved traditional costumes such as the five-panel shirt, the turban shirt, the four-panel shirt, the Nhat Binh shirt, and traditional costumes...
At shows in Ho Chi Minh City or Hung Yen, it is easy to see young people wearing purple five-panel shirts dancing with cups like in the performance "Rain on Hue Street", four-panel shirts like in the song "Drum Rice" or red five-panel shirts in "Dao Lieu".
Ngoc Huyen (23 years old) also made a purple five-panel dress to wear like her idol. She confided: "Thanks to the song Rain on Hue Street, I started to learn about the ancient capital, about the cultural roots of Hue. I ordered a purple ao dai, conical hat and learned to dance with cups because I was inspired by the performance of Chin Muoi. Even though I am not from Hue, I still feel proud and moved when listening to the melodies of Don Ca Tai Tu and watching the cup dance right at the concert."
A female audience member from Ho Chi Minh City came to Hung Yen to watch the concert, also wearing a five-panel ao dai and a Nhat Binh shirt, and expressed her excitement at wearing the traditional costume of her nation.
Talking to Lao Dong reporter, painter and art critic Nguyen Duc Binh - Head of the Vietnamese Village Communal House Club - said that it is a good thing that young people love, learn about and wear traditional costumes.
"In the last 2 years, from movies to music shows, the organizers have always paid attention to the issue of costumes. Like the show Call Me by Fire, the 3 costumes in the song Trong Com were all tailored with the right spirit, technique, and worn properly.
That is the way to spread the beauty of traditional costumes to the community. And the audience also influences the artists, because they have understanding and knowledge about traditional costumes," artist Nguyen Duc Binh shared.
Call Me by Fire has succeeded in its mission of connecting and spreading cultural beauty. People's Artist Tu Long once affirmed after the performance "Drum Rice": "Culture is essence! Culture is origin! Culture is nation".
Through the hands of music director SlimV, stage director Dinh Ha Uyen Thu, and the efforts and creativity of 33 talented people, elaborate performances were staged with the desire to connect traditional values, so that young people can access and love more the cultural treasures of Vietnam.
