Nguyễn Văn Chung concert «Anh Say Rồi» (I Am Drunk)

   The man who wrote the songs steps on stage together with four people who sing them. That is what separates this evening from a standard liveshow: familiar melodies, but with their author sitting right there, in a small room in central Saigon.

   Nguyễn Văn Chung — the songwriter behind a long run of hits tied to the youth of Vietnamese listeners — brings his best-known work back to the Phong tra Ben Thanh stage. With him are four singers: Võ Hạ Trâm, Tăng Phúc, Myra Trần and Phương Phương Thảo.

   From quiet love songs to tracks that left a mark on V-pop, his catalogue is retold through four distinct voices, which gives the night both range and performance.

   The essentials:
a songwriter's night titled «Anh Say Rồi»
the composer: Nguyễn Văn Chung
four singers: Võ Hạ Trâm, Tăng Phúc, Myra Trần and Phương Phương Thảo
the room is the music lounge on the third floor of Nha hat Ben Thanh

   It is for listeners who learned the lyrics long before they learned the writer's name: this is the evening that joins the two. Four voices also let you compare directly how each handles the same body of songs.

   The lounge holds a limited number of seats and booking goes through the venue's fanpage or hotline.

   If you have ever sung along to a Nguyễn Văn Chung song without knowing who wrote it, this is the night you find out.
