Despite heavy rain, hundreds of audiences came to Ben Thanh tea room to enjoy the music night of female singer Hong Phuong.
Hong Phuong made a surprise appearance with singer Chau Ngoc Hieu through the song "Sad purple invitation".
Hong Phuong confided that in order to stand on stage tonight and sing, the female singer had to overcome many obstacles from many sides. But thanks to the people who loved her, she had the motivation to overcome them and sing with all her passion.
In addition to the appearance of relatives such as artist Hong Nhung, artist Ho Quang Linh Vu, cai luong artist Kim Thoa..., there was also Charles Thanh, a close friend of the late artist Vu Linh.
Hong Phuong and artist Linh Vu were unanimously requested by the audience to improvise a piece of Ho Quang.
Show organizer Thuy Le shared about the obstacles when she decided to hold a concert for Hong Phuong. According to Thuy Le, the singers in the concert also had to endure many attacks from public opinion when the poster for the concert was announced. She also thanked the singers for agreeing to sing in Hong Phuong's comeback concert.
Hong Phuong performed familiar songs such as Purple Sorrow Pink Invitation (with Chau Ngoc Hieu), Royal Poinciana Sadness, Passion, Love (with Tuan Quang), Little Love Quickly Forgets (with Truong Sang), Night Lien Khuc (with Cao Hong Vu), etc.
The most special performance of the night was probably the voice of the late artist Vu Linh in the neo-traditional piece “Han Mac Tu”. Hong Phuong sang a three-minute duet with her uncle.
"For me, this is a series of songs that I don't need to say the name of, just listen to the music and the audience will know. I want to create surprises for my audience.
Singing with "Mr. Nam" (late artist Vu Linh) is a privilege that I have, so I really appreciate and am proud of that. I want to show the audience that Meritorious Artist Vu Linh is still there, still on stage serving the audience" - she said.
Hong Phuong said that the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh had recorded this performance with her 5 years ago, so she was able to use the material for her music night.
Hong Phuong also said that the late Meritorious Artist Vu Linh once stood on stage and said that she was the "inheritor" of the family, so to be able to sing with him was a matter of pride and happiness that not everyone could have. She did not care if the public said that she used her uncle's name to promote her name.
Sharing about the guest singers in the music night, Hong Phuong said that she did not completely decide which singers would attend, but show organizer Thuy Le would consider and invite which singers.
After 15 months of not being able to sing officially on stage, for Hong Phuong this is not a simple thing but a luxury. The female singer expressed her gratitude to the audience who have always stood by her side to support her.
