The song “Engrave His Name - Uncle Ba Le Duan” has conveyed the content and meaning of the poetic work. In which, the details have highlighted and partly depicted the image of the beloved leader in the love of his compatriots and comrades, especially the people of the South.

That can be seen through the affectionate way the southern people called comrade Le Duan "Anh Ba" and "Bac Ba" during the fierce, arduous and heroic years of war, leading to the day of total victory and national reunification.

The song has the sound of Nghe Tinh folk songs, easily touching people's hearts with its lyrical and profound melody. The music is composed in two simple sections, section B is a development of section A, but also not far from section A to create consistency.

It can be said that, up to now, Meritorious Artist Nguyen Huong Giang is the singer who has most successfully performed the song "Engrave Your Name - Uncle Ba Le Duan". Her success in the concert commemorating General Secretary Le Duan on July 9, 2023 was partly due to the perfect arrangement of the Colonel, musician Mai Kien and bamboo flute artist Minh Duong.

Artists perform in the art program commemorating the 116th birthday of comrade Le Duan.

Lieutenant Colonel, Meritorious Artist Nguyen Huong Giang was very successful with the role of Ms. Su in the musical "Two Mothers" by Major General and musician An Thuyen. Talking about her success when performing the song "Engrave Your Name - Uncle Ba Le Duan", she said: "Perhaps because my hometown is Nghe An, my voice is imbued with the Vi Dam style, so the musician invited me to be the first singer to have the honor of singing this song."

Having been a singer of the Art Troupe of Military Region 9 for many years, Lieutenant Colonel, Meritorious Artist Nguyen Huong Giang clearly felt the deep affection of the Southern people for beloved President Ho Chi Minh and Uncle Ba Le Duan... And, those feelings were conveyed emotionally by her in the song.

The military radio program quickly recorded the song performed by Lieutenant Colonel, Meritorious Artist Nguyen Huong Giang right after the art program commemorating General Secretary Le Duan and broadcast it widely for the entire army and people to listen to on the occasion of the comrade's 116th birthday anniversary in 2023.
