Episode 4 of "Tinh Ha Say Hi" with the highlight being the appearance of many traditional musical instruments such as dan nguyet, dan tranh, dan co, bamboo flute, folk drums and Tay Nguyen stone lute. This is considered a new direction when the program combines Vietnamese music materials with international artists and musicians.
Opening was "There's nothing to be bitter about" by CAPTAIN BOY's team along with XUAN DINH KY, IVAN and CoolKid. The performance combined hip-hop with the sound of the lute and guitar part by international artist LEONSASH. CAPTAIN BOY said that not being chosen for the initial demo became the motivation for the whole team to strive to create an emotional performance.
Meanwhile, Wren Evans' team brought "Rain Rush" with a pop, hip-hop and R&B combination, incorporating Tay Nguyen stone lute sound and piano. Not only investing in music, the stage is also staged according to the "sad in the club" concept, combining rain effects and dance break to create a prominent visual experience.
One of the notable performances is "Mong Duyen" by Quang Hung MasterD, Song Luan, JSOL and Son. K. Although Quang Hung MasterD had to be absent for 7 days due to a schedule abroad, the group still completed the stage with a harmony between traditional Vietnamese drums and the jazz drum sound of international artist EMIL VERGO.
For the first time taking on the role of captain, KIMLONG made his mark with "Gentleman". The performance combined jazz with tài tử music through the sound of the cò lute, and also with the participation of the LOS FUEGOS HORNS brass band. The idea of bringing traditional instruments into the arrangement was developed from the desire to create a color that is both modern and has Vietnamese identity.
On the stage of "My World", Duong Domic's team chose piano and bamboo flute to build an emotional pop ballad space, evoking the music of the 2000s. Right at the studio, the song received a response when many audiences simultaneously sang along.
Meanwhile, Phap Kieu attracted attention with "Lost Compass". To prepare for his first time as captain, the male rapper actively learned the zither and performed directly on stage. The performance also featured the participation of international saxophonist TORYSAX, creating a crossover between world music, electro dance and traditional materials.
After the performance, the teams received many comments on music, staging and emotional connection with the audience. MC Tran Thanh also encouraged young artists to boldly affirm their personal imprint, becoming their own "producers" in their artistic journey.
According to the audience voting results at the studio, "My World" leads with 162 votes, followed by "Dream of Destiny" (145 votes), "Lost Compass" (140 votes), "Rainy Rain" (121 votes), "Gentleman" (119 votes) and "There's nothing to be stingy about" (113 votes). This is also the basis for adding points to the personal rankings after Livestage 2.
