“Bức Bình Phong”, impressed by the lyrics using the Sino-Vietnamese language in a flexible way combined with the catchy melodies mixed with ethnic musical instruments.
The lyric using Sino-Vietnamese words is the highlight of this song 👍🤩🤩
The story is pretty unique, I like the way they presented the idea of traditional stuff in the form of going back in time. Like it’s pretty cool and kindoff a unique way of getting to know how the things were in old days.
