Vu Thuy Linh "puts on a new coat" for folk songs when combining them with symphony music.

The project includes 4 famous folk songs: “Lung Lieng” (Quan Ho Bac Ninh - Representative Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity), “Cong cha ngai me sinh sanh” (Hat Xam - National Intangible Cultural Heritage), “Luyen nam cung” (Cheo - National Intangible Cultural Heritage), “Chầu Năm Suoi Lan” (Chầu Văn - National Intangible Cultural Heritage). In addition, there is also a pop song “My Vietnamese Melody”.

Young artist Vu Thuy Linh has officially introduced an art project called "The melody of copper threads"

Notably, in this project, Vu Thuy Linh performed ancient folk songs on a symphony background with musician Luu Quang Minh as music director. To perform the original folk songs, she spent time learning from People's Artist Thanh Ngoan (Xam, Cheo) and People's Artist Thuy Huong (Quan Ho Bac Ninh).

Thanks to the youthful voice and classical-modern arrangement of musician Luu Quang Minh, traditional folk songs have become fresher and more accessible. Vu Thuy Linh retains the characteristic vibrato of each type of folk song, blending it into symphonic music to create uniqueness.

At the introduction of this art project, People's Artist Thanh Ngoan commented that Vu Thuy Linh's voice is suitable for traditional music. The Xam and Cheo songs have good technique like a real "singer". People's Artist Thuy Huong commented that the difficult techniques of Quan Ho singing such as "nây nhân" are all performed by Thuy Linh in a methodical and standard way.

People's Artist Thanh Ngoan assessed that Vu Thuy Linh's voice is suitable for folk music.

Musician Luu Quang Minh showed great favor to Vu Thuy Linh when he participated in the project with her. He shared, “From the time of ideation to completion, this project took only 3 months, but Linh went to the homes of veteran artists to learn singing, such as People's Artist Thanh Ngoan (teaching Cheo singing), or traveled from Hanoi to Bac Ninh 3 times a week to learn Quan Ho singing taught by People's Artist Thuy Huong... Linh had access to all the songs for the first time and learned from the most basic things, but within only 3 months, she had mastered the singing style and ancient ways in folk songs to complete the album - that is also another thing that I admire about this young singer.”

According to musician Luu Quang Minh, the project “Tỏ đồng Thánh Thọt” is a special musical product, demonstrating creativity in renewing traditional music, especially in preserving ancient traditions on a symphony background. The production team hopes that the project will contribute to promoting various types of intangible cultural heritage of Vietnam, especially to young people and international audiences.
