"This cd has been my background music for a while now. I recognize some of the songs as traditional folk songs that I heard over 30 years ago, but, I have never heard them "presented" in such a gentle, soothing, melodic way.Of the ones that don't recognize, that same ingeneous performance confirms that it's not just the memory of the songs' traditional root that moves me, it's the performance. Could these songs be the artists' original works? In a way, I don't want to find out. The merit of those songs' content and the artists' performance was enough for me to appreciate them. I'll keep the trivia as a mystery... just like many folklore mystery told by the many beautiful folk songs of Vietnam.Very well done."

It takes some time!

"I'm just getting acquainted with this kind of music, as I'm doing a little experiment to improve in general terms my music listening, specially regarding folk and foreign music, and well, this has been a rewarding experience, because in general terms, I feel in Vietnam at night listening to this music, and isn't it the purpose of music?? I think they've done an excellent work!!"
