Bob Dylan performs in HCMC




The legendary American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan will perform in Vietnam for one night only on his 2011 tour at the HCMC-based Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), 702 Nguyen Van Linh Parkway, District 7, on April 10.

He will sing at Loretta Grounds of the university in front of around 10,000 fans in a live show called “Bob Dylan commemorates Trinh Cong Son”. Trinh Cong Son, who wrote over 500 songs during his lifetime for Vietnam’s music, died in 2001. He was considered the Bob Dylan of Vietnam for his moving antiwar songs in the 1960s and 70s.

Bob Dylan has been a major figure in music for five decades with his songs such as Blowin’ in the Wind and The Times They Are A Changin’ which became the anthems for the US civil rights and antiwar movements. The 70-year-old artist Bob Dylan has won many Grammy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and many others throughout his career.

    I hope music will transcend language differences. Vietnamese songwriter Trinh Cong Son wrote song whose meanings, the way I read it, are pretty similar to what is found in Dylan's "Blowing In The Wind."

    It's Để Gió Cuốn Đi (For the Wind to Blow It away).

    Thanks for the links, Giao.

    I think both singers wrote their songs for the same reasons so it is not surprising to find parallel verses in their words.

    Cheers,

    A.
