Listening
Hoang Viet Khanh’s “Bien Dong” (Raging Sea) peformed by Bich Van. What a gorgeous voice she has. Dig the mid-tempo arrangement by Hoang Cong Luan too.
“Ho Nhu,” music by Nguyen Minh Chau, lyrics by Quynh Huong, performed by Quynh Lan. Beautiful voice melts inside the intoxicating piano and violin works.
Pham Duy’s “Tam Su Gui Ve Dau” and Vu Thanh An’s “Tinh Khuc Thu Nhat” showcase Nguyen Khang’s live performance: raw, rough, and rugged. Dusty style, baby!
“Nguoi Yeu Dau” Ngoc Lan. Live video.
Dear Donny,
The arrangement was by Hoang Cong Luan (not Luat), the younger brother of musician Hoang Viet Khanh. Regards!
Who is Bich Van? Her voice’s really good !
Bee, thanks for the correction.
Bich Van is from Southern Cali. An unknown singer with such a fantastic voice. Her clear tone sort of reminding of the youthful version of Thai Thanh and more serious than the playful Ngoc Khue.
Raging Sea singing by Bich Van is a wonderful surprise! Great find, donny!
I don’t think Bich Van’s voice sounds even close to Thai Thanh’s voice when she was young.
A very promising, young singer in her early twenties, soprano Bich Van is versatile in her repertoire, which ranges from pop songs to operatic compositions. She also accompanies herself on the piano a variety of tunes that she composed, and has released two CD’s of her own music.
Bich Van was trained in piano and voice at the Saigon Conservatory of Music; she is continuing her vocal training in the U.S. Recently, she appeared in the Ethiopean Chorus of “Aida,” an opera by Verdi, in a production by Opera Pacific at the Orange County Performing Arts Center.
March 2005, she performed three of Hoàng Việt Khanh’s songs in English and Vietnamese at a charity concert: Biển Động, Close Your Eyes, and Mưa Xa.
DTDT, I was refering to the clear tone (trong va thanh), not the voice :)
Thanks Ngoc for the info. Bich Van not only shows tremendous potential, but also her cleverness in choosing her music. If she could articluate Hoang Viet Khanh’s music beautifully, she has my support. When will his next album drop? Will it be just Bich Van or various vocalists like the last album?
Dear Donny,
Not sure when HVK’s next CD will be out yet. But we’ll keep you posted. Thanks for listening.
Bich Van ‘s voice is LOVELY. Hope to hear more from Bich Van please.
toi mai yeu ca cban
Bich Van is my friend in highschool. Her voice has been really strong and sweet since then. So happy she’s getting successful in the US. Wish her all good luck in whatever career she’d choose.
BIen Dong is a nice song. Tks so much for posting.
Bich Van’s nice too!
Bich Van is doing so well in this new song- Thanks for sharing :)
Bich Van has such a beautiful
voice. She is a great female singer/song writter. Such a young talentic singer at her age, I dont think any one can
compete with her. To be honest
She is great and very nice person. I had the chances to talk to her. Peace out!
I heard Bich Van sing 3 songs tonight in a Christmas music concert… She was very good! At her age, she’s well on her way to a career in music, which is what I think shes’s working towards. Her voice is versatile, it’s true, and the emotional presentation was very attractive =)
Bich Van’s voice is such a wonderful. I just fall in love with her voice. I am looking for her CD. Anyone know about her CD? I have asked the Vietnamese music store about her CD, they said they don’t have it. I am very agree with all above comments.
Does anyone have her contact info? Toi that long muon noi chuyen voi chi. I am working on my voice right now. Of course, my voice is not good like her, but I am happy to learn.
Does Bich Van have a younger sister who also sings? There’s a beautiful singer named Bao Chau who looks very much like her, and her singing style is similar.
