Cover of the album Hieu va Thuong |
The album, Hieu va Thuong (Understanding and Love), sends messages on love,
sharing and compassion. It includes nine songs in bolero, pop and folk
contemporary music.
Featured songs are performed by
Nhung and child singers Ho Van Cuong, Quynh Trang, Pham Tuyet Nhung and Pham
Thien Ngan.
Nhung was born in 1972 in the Tay
Nguyen (Central Highlands) province
of Pleiku (now Gia Lai
province). Her father was an American serviceman. She moved to live in the US as
part of its immigration policy towards Amerasians.
She began her career in 1989 in California and has
worked with American and French entertainment centers and music producers.
In 2005, she returned to Ho Chi Minh City
and has released more than 200 solo and group albums. Nhung runs her own
charity fund for poor children.
Her concert, Phi Nhung Fan Meeting
2018, will take place at Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House on January 13.
The open-air event will feature
dozens of guest singers, including pop star Phuong Thanh and pop bands MTV and
5 Dong Ke.
Nhung will also pay for several
hundred fans living in poor districts of southern provinces to attend the
event.
"I love singing for my young
fans in my homeland," said Nhung.
"My daughter from the US
will attend the concert and learn how much Vietnamese fans love me," she
added.
The show begins at 8pm at 4 Pham Ngoc Thach street,
District 1. Entrance is free.
More than 7,000 guests are expected
to attend.
