Inspired by the tour movements in Vietnamese history, especially the generous and humane Dong Noi tour of musician Tran Tien, Vietnam Journey is not just a simple music project, but a journey to explore and honor the unique cultural and historical values of 34 provinces, cities and Truong Sa archipelago.
Each land the project passes through will be told in a unique cultural language, creating a vibrant, colorful and emotional overall artistic picture of Vietnam.
At each destination, Vietnam Journey will introduce a series of free community events, combining art, music, cuisine, traditional cultural exhibitions, visiting craft villages and community tourism and sports activities.
The core activities of the project are music nights held at locations associated with heritage, history and long-standing cultural traditions, with stage design inspired by the spirit of closeness to nature, bringing the most realistic and meaningful experience.
The project also brings songs that have become part of cultural heritage with folk songs, revolutionary music, folk melodies... imbued with the soul and customs and practices of provinces and localities across Vietnam.
The Vietnam Journey project is expected to last for 5 years (2025 - 2030), officially starting in Hanoi in August 2025 and will end in Ho Chi Minh City in December 2030.
With a spirit of continuous non-profit, music nights will be held completely free of charge for people and tourists. In addition, all proceeds from fundraising (if any) will be transferred to the Community Fund to build bridges and roads in the Mekong Delta and award scholarships to poor and studious students at all 35 destinations.
"Vietnam Journey" will also support disadvantaged communities, improve the lives and learning conditions for children, people in remote areas. In addition, the project contributes to preserving and promoting the values of traditional craft villages, creating opportunities for artisans to maintain and develop their careers, as well as enhancing community cohesion through cultural interaction and exchange activities, thereby strengthening solidarity and building a sustainable country.
As a meaningful starting point for Vietnam Journey, the music night Flaces in the Fatherlands Sky will officially take place at 7:30 p.m. on August 31 at Au Co Arts Center, Hanoi.
The program is held in the sacred atmosphere of the historic August and National Day on September 2, promising to bring an artistic space filled with pride and love for the homeland, where each note of music will be a story about Hanoi and the Fatherland.
