The program "Echoes of the Fatherland" takes place at 8 pm on April 28 at My Dinh Stadium, opening the "Proud to be Vietnamese" 2026 series, aimed at major events of the country.
With a scale of 40,000 spectators, more than 2,000 artists and 500 armed forces, the program combines many modern forms of performance.
The song "Prosperity of Vietnam Shines" performed with a series of opening songs impressed with the message of responsibility for preserving and spreading Vietnamese cultural values in the new era, receiving many compliments from the audience.
It is known that "Thịnh vượng Việt Nam sáng ngời" was composed by author Bui Truong Linh. He once performed this song on the "Big song big deal" stage. The composition was expressed by Phuong My Chi with interest and asked to try singing a few lines.
However, Chau Dang Khoa was one of the judges who missed this song. According to Bui Truong Linh, Chau Dang Khoa once commented "your music is very mediocre".
This situation makes many people feel ironically when Chau Dang Khoa is currently involved in a controversy over the lyrics in the song "Vietnamese people love each other", while Bui Truong Linh is praised for his calm and receptive behavior.
When Chau Dang Khoa's song caused controversy across social media platforms because of the phrase "Rice ripens tall without bowing", audiences listened to "Prosperity of Vietnam shines" by Bui Truong Linh again.
Bui Truong Linh once shared that he had to consider a lot when composing "Vietnam's Prosperity Shines", because of the cultural material and the length of the nation's history. In the end, he decided to choose immortal works containing the great milestones of the nation's history, such as Nam Quoc Son Ha, Hich Tuong Si, Binh Ngo Dai Cao and Tuyen Ngon Doc Lap, to be the inspiration for writing the song.
3 years after the "Big song big deal" competition, the song "Thịnh vượng Việt Nam sáng ngời" composed by Bui Truong Linh sang solemnly at the Great Celebration of the 80th National Day, through the performance of the Vietnamese Arts and Literature Group.
The work of Gen Z musicians not only expresses love for the homeland through music, but also reflects the patriotic emulation spirit of the young generation, contributing to spreading national pride to the community and future generations.
