The product is a collaboration between the female artist and the creative team Antiantiart, musician Tuan Cry and music producer DuongK.
Inspired by world music combined with contemporary folk materials, "La ngoc canh vang" is not only a musical product but also a dialogue between tradition and modern breath. Through richly visual lyrics, the song depicts the portrait of Vietnamese women who are free, brave and proactive in creating their own happiness.
Instead of approaching the image of "jade leaves, golden branches" in a familiar meaning associated with fragility, being cherished, the work brings a new perspective on women who know how to overcome challenges, maintain dignity and constantly rise up. Songs like "glory belongs to others" or "drifting like clouds" express the spirit of living freely, not being bound by standards or expectations from society.
The notable highlight of the MV lies in the image system imbued with Vietnamese cultural elements. Under the hands of Antiantiart, a series of traditional symbols are recreated in modern visual language, the art of mother-of-pearl inlay, blue floral ceramics to Nom poetry and the legend of Au Co. Each space appearing in the MV carries its own layers of meaning, contributing to telling a story about the identity, roots and beauty of Vietnamese women through many periods.
In particular, the MV gathers dozens of ca tru singers of many generations appearing in a scene in front of the communal house yard. The oldest is nearly 90 years old, while the youngest is only 12 years old. This is considered a tribute from Kieu Anh to ca tru art - a type of intangible cultural heritage that has been associated with her artistic journey.
