On June 14, the first music night of the Love in the Bay stage by Ambassador Cruise in collaboration with FPT Play's Crossroads of Time officially took place on the Ambassador Ha Long cruise. This is the first time the "Crossroads of Time" program was recorded on an open-air stage on the Ha Long cruise with the participation of 500 audiences participating in the live recording with the participation of the couple Hoang Hai - Huong Tram and Music Director Duong Cam. The program will be shown at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 22 on FPT Play.
The first music night of the Love in the Bay stage by Ambassador Cruise in collaboration with FPT Play's Time Crossroads has officially taken place on the Ambassador Ha Long cruise.
Songs such as: Hoa nang, Cho em gan anh them chut nua, Em gai mua... were "magically" remixed with new arrangements, suitable for a special space in the middle of the heritage bay. Following the criteria of the program Giao lo thoi gian recorded live with the presence of the audience, music director Duong Cam led a successful music night with 2 leading voices and 20 songs in more than 2 hours on the yacht stage.
“Ra la em dau qua mong manh” is one of the most memorable songs for Huong Tram, released right before going to the US. That was when she showed everyone a weak, vulnerable and scratched image, but it also marked Huong Tram’s own courage in daring to show the truth behind her strong nature. Huong Tram’s parents were also present at the live show to support their daughter.
“That song brings a lot of memories to Tram, because at that time Tram showed everyone the image of Tram at her weakest. Everyone saw Tram losing sleep, everyone saw Tram scratched. But for Tram, this is a commemorative song because it says: Actually, when showing the world the weakest part of yourself is when you bravely show everyone the truth behind your girl.”
Singer Huong Tram
Sharing about her decision to go to the US at the peak of her career, Huong Tram said she was inspired by a quote from Oprah Winfrey - one of the most influential women in the world.
“The most important thing for a person when born to be an artist is to have a heart to give. To do that, we must always nurture the “cup” in our soul, nurture it until one day that cup overflows. The overflowing energy of an artist is what we reserve to give. One day when Tram’s work came more and more, Tram felt that source of energy was a bit exhausted, Tram stopped to find new melodies, new sounds to bring all the energy to fill Tram’s heart, to fill the cup in Tram’s soul once again. And until now, Tram is very confident to tell you: Huong Tram right before you now is full of energy to give, to sing for you.”
Besides, she had a Mashup performance of the song With You Is Forever - You. Both are songs that have been associated with her name since the early days of her career.
It is known that after participating in the live show in Ha Long Bay, on the evening of June 15, Huong Tram will release her new MV titled Chi minh anh di xa. The song marks Huong Tram's strong comeback after returning to Vietnam to work with a newer, more versatile image.
Singer Hoang Hai sings a duet with singer Huong Tram
Performing on the Ambassador yacht stage for the first time, Hoang Hai humorously shared that 10 months after The Masked Singer competition, he had to "move his bedroom onto the plane, because he performed so much that he had to sleep on the plane because the 10 months he performed was equivalent to 10 years of hibernation."
This time singing a duet with female singer Huong Tram, Dad Gau Hoang Hai shared that there were more surprises and novelties when singing mashup songs, especially the hit change part which was carefully prepared and invested. Besides, Huong Tram also did not hesitate to admit that she is a die-hard fan of Hoang Hai. She affirmed that she can remember all the songs in his album with a short performance of the song "Autumn of Love" - a hit song of Dad Gau.
In addition, the show's "special" hit change with the song "Em se la giac mo" through a new and emotional performance by Huong Tram and "Em gai mua" through the powerful voice of Hoang Hai took the audience from one surprise to another.
Singer Hoang Hai
To have a successful show with new arrangements that are true to the spirit of performing on the heritage bay, we cannot fail to mention Music Director Duong Cam. It is known that in order to bring 20 arrangements as well as be the "narrator" on stage for the 2 singers, Music Director Duong Cam and the crew along with the Background band worked for 1 month to have quality songs for the audience.
Singer Hoang Hai shared that he felt a bit "daredevil" when accepting the invitation to participate in the program with the appearance of Music Director Duong Cam - a talented musician in remaking familiar songs. Singer Huong Tram also agreed that he is a perfectionist and has an admirable musical mind. The songs remade by musician Duong Cam are all difficult challenges for singers. Music Director Duong Cam also did not hesitate to praise the two guest singers, especially singer Huong Tram with a completely new role when she personally wrote her recent song.
To ensure the filming as well as bring the audience special performances, to honor the beauty of Ha Long Bay, the stage operator Love in the Bay by Ambassador Cruise has made significant changes to the stage as well as sound and lighting to follow the original criteria.
This is the first time the program "Crossroads of Time" has been recorded on an open-air stage on the Ha Long cruise ship with the participation of 500 audiences participating in the live recording.
The music night ended with a resounding success with the duet “Then we will watch the fireworks together” right under the fireworks display of the Ambassador Cruise. Before leaving, the singer couple also responded to the audience’s requests by improvising two more exciting songs with A drunken night and Finding again.
“The success of the first live show night of Crossroads of Time and Love in the Bay by Ambassador Cruise has shown the professional and thorough investment level from the program's Organizing Committee, as well as the desire to constantly innovate and change to spread the beauty of Ha Long Bay to domestic and foreign tourists of APC Corporation”, shared Mr. Nguyen Hong Nhat - General Director of APC Corporation, the operator of Ambassador Cruise.
