Informing the press on the afternoon of April 9, Dr. Le Doan Hop - Chairman of the Nghe An Association in Hanoi said that this is a non-profit art program in the form of socialization, the program focuses on the quality of artistic expertise, organized on a large scale and professionally. The songs and singers participating in the program are selected by the musicians' families.

Ms. Huyen Lam - wife of the late musician An Thuyen shared that this is the happiness of the family, as well as the desire of the people of Nghe An: "I feel very touched that An Thuyen has passed away but is still remembered by everyone, his music still has a strong vitality in the flow of time.

The works of Mr. An Thuyen in the program in particular and the songs written by musicians from Nghe An in general all come from love, the source of Nghe An folk songs. That source will flow forever in the music of many generations. Hopefully, the music of the musicians will satisfy the feelings of many audiences today."

Mrs. Le Anh Thuy - wife of the late musician Hong Dang also expressed: "I am always proud to be a "du" (daughter-in-law) of Nghe An. Although Mr. Hong Dang was born in Nghe An and left his family to go to Viet Bac at the age of 16, the source of the land that gave birth to and nurtured him still flows in his veins. It is that source that nurtured his soul so that he could write many songs that were well received by many people. This program "Vi, Giam Source" is a great effort of the Nghe An Association in Hanoi but also ignites the very own pride of the children of Nghe An across the country".

Musician Thuy Kha commented that the five talented musicians from Nghe An honored in this program are the "five golden elements of Nghe An", and there is nothing more beautiful and meaningful than to pay tribute to them through music.

Chairman of the Central Council for Theory and Criticism of Literature and Arts, Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen The Ky said that the program is only a small part of the huge musical legacy that the 5 musicians left behind. The songs of the 5 musicians are not only their feelings about their beloved Nghe An but also their endless love for their homeland and country. In the songs included in the program, the audience will see the cultural identity and fine traditions of the Nghe people flowing in the Vietnamese ethnic community... That is also a way for us to see the "I" and the "we" in the music of the 5 musicians.
