CLVNCOM - I still remember how much I cried when I watched Le Thuy playing the main character in the play named To Anh Nguyet or in some other plays such as “Ao Cuoi Truoc Cong Chua” (Wedding dress in front of the pagoda gate) and “Luong Son Ba, Chuc Anh Dai”… I do not really know how and when I became addicted to her voice and the characters she portrayed in those plays, but I know for sure that many Le Thuy’s fans love her down-to-earth yet wonderful performing style with a sweet and terrific singing voice. The mixture of contralto and soprano in her voice is so unique that one cannot find it in any other singers.

But having the good start was not enough; she still had to try very hard to achieve her stardom among many other famous stars in the cai luong world, which she did! However, the glory she earned in her long career from all the hard work did not help her, a very devoted artist, to continue performing on the beloved cai luong stage.

Modern vọng cổ is made up of six phrases of thirty-two measures. A noticeable cadence ends each sub-phrase of four measures. At this cadence, all instruments (and the vocalist) come back together, usually hitting the same note. At eight measures before the end of a phrase, the song loan is tapped twice consecutively by the leader (usually the đàn kìm player) to signify that the phrase is ending. On the last measure of a phrase, the song loan is tapped once more to make sure everyone ends together. At that point, the performers may move on to the next phrase, transition to a different song, or end completely.
CLVNCOM - After learning that the Hoa Binh Theater is going to have a liveshow for NSUT Ut Bach Lan , I decided to pay her a visit. Her small house on Tran Hung Dao Street looks the same – still the lonely hammock where she usually sits to study her lines and the Buddha altar with incense burning. Ms. Ut is a lot skinnier now but her smiles are still friendly and warm. She softly said, “At 65 years of age and after 40 years in the same career, I am very happy to still be able to sing. I am very grateful for the ancestors of Cai Luong and my beloved audiences.”

As a child growing up, I remember my mother saving the best cuts at dinner for me, making sure my clothes were ironed, that I had books for school and saw a doctor every time I ran a temperature.

CLVNCOM - Many members of the www.cailuongvietnam.com Website are loyal fans of the famous singer Minh Canh.
