Concert «Không dám nói chia tay»: Hà Nhi at Cat&Mouse

   Hà Nhi has the kind of voice Vietnam calls simply strong: she came out of a television contest and made her name with break-up ballads that whole rooms sing back at her.

   The evening is built around her mini-album «EP Women» and the song «Không dám nói chia tay» — I dare not say goodbye. This is an authored programme rather than a hits set: she takes the room through one theme from beginning to end.

   The essentials:

   — Cat&Mouse is a live house with tables and a live band, not a dance club;
   — the programme follows the EP, so the songs run in their intended order;
   — the room is small, seating numbered, the stage two metres from the front tables;
   — the venue serves food and drink; outside food is not allowed.

   Come if you want the Vietnamese ballad live and without stadium echo. Rooms like this listen in silence here, and sing along only when the singer asks.

   On tickets: sold through ticketbox, the lowest tier from 1,100,000 VND — higher than the venue's other nights, which is a direct measure of demand. The programme is in Vietnamese.

   The venue is on Phạm Ngọc Thạch by Turtle Lake, in a district that stays open late.

   One evening, one voice and a room where every word carries. If you are in Ho Chi Minh City this Saturday, book ahead.
