VIET ACCÉNT

Musician Phạm Duy , who was criticized for his controversial activities involving some very young girls at the beach in to Vietnam, held a live show last week, May 9, 2008 in Vietnam. Phạm Duy expressed his love and joy in the past with a picture he took holding his Vietnamese citizenship ID that caused quite a controversy. Phạm Duy’s music night is a second show held in Vietnam, which featured a good sample of his music from famous love songs. The live show took place at Hòa Bình Theater in HCM City with performances from his son and daughter in law, Duy Quang and Yến Xuân, veteran singers Lệ Thu and Tuấn Ngọc, and many local singers, Quang Linh, Mỹ Linh, Thanh Lam, Năm Dòng Kẻ, etc. See pictures below.

Veteran singer Tuấn Ngọc released his DVD “ Riêng Một Góc Trời ” in late December 2007. In the live show held for the premiere of his DVD appearance, his wife singer Thái Thảo was reported to be missing causing questions to whether the rumors are true about their split. Thái Thảo is the daughter of famous musician Phạm Duy and singer Thái Hằng ; her brother is singer Duy Quang . Usually singer Thái Thảo is always at her husband’s sides. But at such an event, she was not there to support. However there could well be other unknown reasons we do not know about. Furthermore singer Tuấn Ngọc has always been a person receiving many praises for his character so many people doubt the rumors to be true. Of course if the rumor is true, we are in no position to judge the matter because it is his personal affair.
