“Vo Thanh Tam has a beautiful, lyrical, well-trained Baritone voice with great inner strength,” said musician Pham Minh Tuan, former Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, about Vo Thanh Tam’s voice.
Perhaps that is why recently, when completing a new and very dedicated work by musician Pham Minh Tuan, the song “Hanh quan nghe o hat Xa khoi”, the musician entrusted his trusted voice, Vo Thanh Tam, to perform. The organizing unit, the Ho Chi Minh City Music Association, highly appreciated both the quality of the composition and the performing talent of singer Vo Thanh Tam.
Another veteran musician of Ho Chi Minh City, musician Huu Xuan - author of the famous song "Singing about my country" now has a new composition "Singing about the mother of Quang Nam" (poem by Chau La Viet) and has also lovingly invited Vo Thanh Tam to perform this song.
Vo Thanh Tam confided: “To be honest, I was very moved when I received the song about Quang Nam mothers by musician Huu Xuan. Because this is the homeland that I always miss, the mothers that I always admire. Each lyric seemed to penetrate my heart, and just like that, it was sung into words: I love the lullaby that my mother sang every night/ I love the worn-out shirt that my mother wore/ I love the bowl of rice that she used to go to war/ My mother kept warm for us.
Honestly, there are parts where I sing with tears in my eyes. Tears of pride for my homeland Quang Nam, tears of pride for the mothers of Quang Nam, tears of pride and love forever for my homeland Quang Nam.”
Vo Thanh Tam also said that he, a child who has been away from home for many years, this spring has the song "Singing about mother Quang Nam" like a spring flower he brought back to give to his homeland, to his parents and close neighbors, so that everyone can witness the maturity of a child of his homeland who has continuously grown up, and always loves his land Quang...
