Dear brothers and sisters,

Below is a special song for me.

On our ĐCN’s birthday (February 7), I’ve often sent the song to anh Hoành, brothers and sisters whom we regularly work with, and all of you. I’ve wanted to say: “My dears, thank you all for raising me up. I am grateful to you from my heart. My life has changed miraculously since I met you. Thank you so much, my dears.”

The song here, with anh Hoành’s translation.

Enjoy and have a nice day. Continue reading You raise me up →

Dear brothers and sisters,

Among the Walt Disney’s princesses, I like princess Jasmine in Aladdin film, perhaps because the scene of Jasmine and Aladdin on the magical carpet was so cool.

I often feel myself is a princess, and I’m waiting for Aladdin to show me a whole new world. Continue reading A whole new world →

Dear brothers and sisters,

Avatar is a great film. I watched it before I came into ĐCN. I love the film. The film tells about many things but I only remember a love story in the film. The beautiful love.

So when wandering in our Banana Garden in 2012, when seeing a song in the film, I was happy. I still remember how glad I was.

The great song. Enjoy.

Have a love day. Continue reading I see you →

Dear brothers and sisters,

The great song. Enjoy.

Dear brothers and sisters,

Because I want to understand all things about our grandfathers and grandmothers, so I often feel unhappy when I know nothing about our country’s history. When I know a little about our history, I feel I reconnect with our people, and love our people more.

I’ve thought about Điện Biên Phủ in recent days. I’ve wanted to understand The Battle of Điện Biên Phủ for a long time. So I started researching on The Battle last night.

Chiến thắng Điện Biên is a popular song about The Battle. Enjoy. Continue reading Chiến thắng Điện Biên →

“Foli” is the word used for rhythm by the Malinke tribe in West Africa. But Foli is not only found in Malinke music, but in all parts of their daily lives. Directed by Thomas Roebers, this short film portrays the people of Baro, a small town in eastern-central Guinea, and gives you a glimpse inside their culture of rhythm. As the Malinke man says, “Tous les choses, c’est du rythme.” (“Everything is rhythm.”) What makes this film even more beautiful is the fact that it was edited so as to reflect Malinke rhythms. Continue reading Everything is rhythm →

Dear brothers and sisters,

Below is a memory song, to me and perhaps to many people. I like the song. And I like how chị Phương Thảo sings and plays mandolin. I’m practicing mandolin, so I’ll try to play the song, and perhaps I’ll try to sing the song.

Enjoy and have a nice day. Continue reading Xe đạp ơi →

Dear brothers and sisters,

Then I waited for autumn to come in order to talk about the song Autumn. And now is spring, I’m glad to have the opportunity to share the song Spring. Continue reading Spring →

Dear brothers and sisters,

Drum is a musical instrument you can learn in a short time. If you know nothing about music but you want to play music, you should learn to play drums.

I’m happy when I can play drums in a short time. Although I need to practice hardly, I’m happy when I can play music. Continue reading Tabla of Zakir Hussain →

Dear brothers and sisters,

I’m learning to play drums. So I’m interested in all kinds of drum. There are clips about goblet drums.

The goblet drum (also chalice drum, tarabuka, tarabaki, darbuka, derbake, debuka, doumbek, dumbec, dumbeg, dumbelek, tabla, tablah, tableh, toumperleki or zerbaghali) is a single head membranophone with a goblet shaped body used mostly in Egypt, also in parts of the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and Eastern Europe. The African djembe-wassolou is also a goblet membranophone. Continue reading Goblet drum of Amir Sofi →
