Concert «Thanh Phương Dạ Nguyệt»: Ái Phương + Lamoon at Cat&Mouse

   Ái Phương has been singing for more than fifteen years and is known for bringing a jazz delivery to material usually sung straight. Lamoon belongs to another generation, recognised for indie ballads that travelled online first and reached the stage after.

   The night is called «Thanh Phương Dạ Nguyệt», a title built from their names and the words for night moon. This is a paired programme rather than two sets in a row: the interest is in how an experienced voice and a young one sit together.

   The essentials:

   — Cat&Mouse is a live house with tables and a live band, not a dance club;
   — both singers appear on the same night, with joint numbers;
   — the room is small, the stage close from anywhere, seating numbered;
   — the venue serves food and drink; outside food is not allowed.

   Come if you would rather listen to a voice than watch a show. A Sunday evening in a small room is about the calmest musical option this city offers.

   On tickets: sold through ticketbox, the lowest tier from 900,000 VND. The programme is in Vietnamese; the lyrics matter in this genre, so some meaning will pass a non-speaker by — the delivery will not.

   The venue is on Phạm Ngọc Thạch by Turtle Lake, in a district that stays open late, so the evening extends easily.

   One evening, two voices from different generations and a small room. If you are in Ho Chi Minh City this Sunday, book ahead.
