On the evening of March 23rd in Ho Chi Minh City, the concert "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles" made history when it was officially awarded a certificate by the Guinness World Records for "The event with the largest number of participants wearing traditional Vietnamese costumes." The impressive number of over 5,000 attendees was announced, a powerful testament to the love and appreciation for national culture.
This special moment was not only a source of pride for the organizers, but also a shared joy for the thousands of audience members present at the concert. To share in this joy, the organizers respectfully invited audience members wearing colorful traditional costumes onto the stage. In the emotionally charged musical atmosphere, everyone joined in singing the song "A Round Trip Across Vietnam," creating a picture of unity and pride.
The "Brothers Overcoming Thousands of Obstacles" program invited all audience members wearing Vietnamese traditional clothing onto the stage to perform the song "One Round Around Vietnam".
To ensure accuracy and transparency, the Guinness World Record establishment process for the "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles" concert was conducted rigorously. Attendees, dressed in traditional Vietnamese attire, were guided to line up and pass through a modern camera-based counting system, meticulously and objectively recording their numbers. Mr. Kazu, a reputable international judge from Guinness, directly supervised and officiated this momentous event.
Continuing the joyous occasion, also during concert night 3, the "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles" program officially set a Guinness World Record for "The event with the largest number of participants wearing traditional Vietnamese costumes."
Throughout the counting process, all spectators must remain within the clearly defined "Guinness Path" area. Any disruption, especially if more than 10% of the audience leaves the area before the counting is complete, could seriously affect the record-setting results. This demonstrates the meticulousness and professionalism of the organizers, ensuring that all elements comply with Guinness's stringent standards.
With their youthful energy, creativity, and deep love for their homeland, today's young generation not only preserves but also spreads the beauty of Vietnamese culture throughout the world.
According to MC Anh Tuan, traditional clothing is not only preserved by the older generation but has also been embraced by young people in their own unique ways.
Beyond setting records, the event also offered audiences unique cultural experiences. Activities included a parade recreating the beauty of traditional costumes, the Bach Hoa Bo Hanh (Traditional Costume Exhibition), the Dong Bao Viet (Vietnamese People's Attire) exhibition and photo opportunity with a backdrop of 54 ethnic costumes, and an interaction with the Ao Dai Ambassador - the talented Tang Phuc.
The parade recreates the beauty of traditional costumes in the Hundred Flowers Walking Parade.
The concert "Brother Overcoming a Thousand Obstacles" captivated audiences not only with its grand scale but also with the creativity and innovation in each performance. Familiar songs like "Trong Com," "Da Co Hoai Lang," and "Mua Tren Pho Hue" were given a "new look" with unique arrangements, combining traditional sounds with contemporary touches.
