The MV "Da Ma Thien/ Yamaten" is directed by Hung's band leader BlackhearteD, performed by Jason Tran and Black Army Pictures. Previously, the song was performed by Da Ma band and made a good impression when it was in the "Just Rock" playlist selected by Spotify.
When Da Ma was just established, at the same time I received an invitation to perform at the Rock Show in Los Angeles (USA). At that time, the Da Ma band still did not have their own songs, so I composed, arranged and recorded demos within 1 day and sent them to my brothers to practice" - leader Hung BlackhearteD expressed.
The meaning of the song "Da Ma Thien/ Yamaten" talks about the celestial beings in the Da Ma realm who always fight for righteousness and good things. The song has since been associated with and is a key song in all shows of the Da Ma group.
Da Ma band was formed by Hung BlackHearteD - one of the icons of Vietnamese Rock in the 2000s with a distinctive death metal/doom style. Da Ma consists of 6 members, the youngest of whom is guitarist Tran An Nguyen (Nguyen Tran) born in 2000 and is the son of musician Tran Tuan Hung, leader of Buc Tuong band.
Although it has only been established for 1 year, Da Ma has somewhat shaped its image and style when appearing in the US market, especially when releasing two debut products, "Beo dat may troi" and "Trong com".
Speaking about the inspiration and meaning of choosing these 2 songs to "welcome the stage", leader Hung BlackhearteD said: "We all love Vietnamese culture and want to contribute to spreading it to the world, so we chose 2 folk songs that the group likes to remix the most. When performing on US stages, we are extremely happy that the audience here and even those who do not speak the same language also really like Vietnamese melodies and musical instruments".
Da Ma also affirmed the position of Vietnamese Rock in the US when performing at Viper Room and the "saint hall" of world Rock Whisky a Go Go - a stage where famous Rock bands such as Guns 'n Roses, The Doors... have performed for many years.
Besides, Da Ma is also a guest of the legendary band Pentagram & Trapt and also collaborates on the show of producer Tommy London - one of the famous Producers in the American Rock market.
Currently, the group is in the process of recording for their debut album, and will collaborate with some Vietnamese and international artists to bring colors suitable for Da Ma's compositions.
