‘Hanoi street’ is grateful to musician Doan Chuan – Phu Quang

Hanoi Street Night will be held at the Hanoi Opera House to pay tribute to the two dudes of Hanoi – Doan Chuan and Phu Quang. For more than a year, musician Phu Quang has been seriously ill and has to be treated in many hospitals.

Musician Phu Quang grew up and has a young memory full of memories in Hanoi, from the peaceful streets to the B52 bombing on Kham Thien in 1972, so for him, “the first love and the best love are all in Hanoi”. In his treasure trove of more than 600 songs, most of them wrote about Hanoi.

Phu Quang once shared that he loved Hanoi because he was a part of Hanoi

Phu Quang once shared that he loved Hanoi because Hanoi was the hometown. He is a part of Hanoi, so of course like many people from other hometowns, he is biased towards Hanoi. In addition, he is an “aboriginal” of Hanoi, not a noisy traveler who often rushes past and does not look back, with his whisper “small streets, small streets, what’s attractive. where to lead “. He observed Hanoi closely, felt deeply, understood Hanoi more closely than others, and therefore fell in love with it.

Phu Quang’s music is mainly love songs. These love songs are written from vibrations, emotions from real love and dreams, aspirations, and obsessions about love. Love in music Phu Quang is not only human love, but also a melody to love love in ancient Thang Long land, Hanoi.

The musician’s fortune has 600 songs, many of which are written about Hanoi

For more than a year, musician Phu Quang has to be treated in a hospital. He has severe diabetes, plus colon cancer, so he often has to stay in hospital to get the best treatment and care. Musicians must be ventilated and dialysis every week. On 2-4 days, Mr. To Dinh Tuan, Editor-in-Chief of the Newspaper Workers, on behalf of the program “Loving Mai Vang” to visit musician Phu Quang at Viet Xo Friendship Hospital, wished the musician soon recover his health and presented him with a gift of 10 million VND from the program.

Like Phu Quang, Doan Chuan is the author who leaves the most special, romantic and unforgettable impression on Hanoi.

Doan Chuan wrote not much, up to now, his musical heritage has only 20 songs, but all 20 songs are timeless love songs, especially loved by audiences for generations. The songs are not mixed up, with an atmosphere of old Hanoi, even without direct names, but enough to make these songs considered representative of Hanoi.

Musician Nguyen Thuy Kha commented that Doan Chuan only wrote his Hanoi collection songs for a decade (1947-1957), but his Hanoi collection tune has passed the time to go into immortality. It is not too praiseworthy when life calls him “the musician of Hanoi autumn” or “Hanoi’s autumn song king”.

With his respect for the two veteran artists of Vietnamese music, singer Tung Duong will take on the editorial role for the live concert “Hà Nội phố” with the immortal works of two musicians. . He said that although he is not an artist who has participated in all the concerts of musician Phu Quang, he belongs to many of his works and composer Doan Chuan.

“I would like to express with my respect to the two musicians, the two princes of Ha Thanh, the romantic people of Hanoi capital. They are the people who have made great contributions to Vietnamese music. “- singer Tung Duong said.

The famous male singer added, musician Phu Quang and Doan Chuan, despite being in two different music schools, of different generations, still have a common theme on the topic of romance and flying. They all find the most positive values ​​for life.

Sharing about the songs that will be introduced to the audience, Tung Duong said that as an editor, he was many times hesitant because he had to choose the best works of two musicians. “There are so many good works and I have to combine them into a beautiful, romantic story line. The singer when editing music, besides knowing about the works, has to highlight his musical personality. It is important that I put my energy into understanding the stories they write from true feelings I am a lover of Vietnamese music and belong to many works from veteran musicians to young musicians. I have an open perspective. It is not too heavy or too light, “said Tung Duong.

Singers Thanh Lam, Tan Minh, Tung Duong, Khanh Linh, Minh Chuyen will be present in “Hanoi street” on the evening of May 15 at the Hanoi Opera House. Each vocal is a color, a different aftertaste to honor the two authors.
