Our Take

Nguyen Vinh Bao, Ba Tu, Ut Ti, Hoang Co Thuy - a mouthful of a name for an ensemble, but don't let that scare you away from their latest release. Hailing from Vietnam, this eclectic group showcases a wide range of traditional instruments and unparalleled musicianship on their self-titled album.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you are transported to a world of vibrant colors and intricate rhythms. The nimble fingers of Nguyen Vinh Bao on the dan tranh and the hypnotic vocals of Hoang Co Thuy blend seamlessly with the dynamic percussion of Ba Tu and Ut Ti. The result is a sonic tapestry that is at once familiar and utterly unique.

The album is a whirlwind tour of Vietnamese folk music, with each track offering a different perspective on the country's rich musical heritage. From the haunting melodies of "Lang Toi" to the infectious energy of "Bai Cau Dividual," each song is a testament to the ensemble's versatility and skill.

Don't let the language barrier deter you - music is a universal language, and this album speaks volumes. Nguyen Vinh Bao, Ba Tu, Ut Ti, Hoang Co Thuy have crafted a masterpiece that is sure to delight music lovers of all stripes. Give it a listen and prepare to be swept away on a musical journey like no other.

About the artist

Ensemble Nguyên Vinh Bao

Nguyen Vinh Bao, more commonly known by his stage names Ba Tu, Ut Ti, and Hoang Co Thuy, is a musical enigma wrapped in a Vietnamese pop sensation. With a career spanning over two decades, Bao has left a lasting impact on the industry with his genre-defying sound and eccentric persona. Hailing from Hanoi, Bao first burst onto the scene in the late 1990s with his band Ba Tu, mixing traditional Vietnamese folk music with electronic beats that left audiences both puzzled and mesmerized. His alter egos Ut Ti and Hoang Co Thuy further showcase his versatility, with Ut Ti delving into experimental noise music and Hoang Co Thuy exploring dreamy synth pop. Bao's live performances are a sight to behold, with extravagant costumes, elaborate stage setups, and unpredictable antics that keep audiences on their toes. Whether he's crooning ballads in a dragon costume or performing a DJ set in a glittering jumpsuit, Bao's theatricality knows no bounds. Critics have praised Bao's fearless approach to music-making, with Pitchfork Magazine calling him "a true maverick in a sea of copycats". His albums have garnered critical acclaim, with his latest release "Electric Pho" receiving comparisons to the likes of Bjork and Daft Punk. Nguyen Vinh Bao continues to push the boundaries of Vietnamese music, blending tradition with innovation in a way that only he can. With his fearless creativity and larger-than-life persona, Bao is a force to be reckoned with in the global music scene. Whether you're a seasoned music aficionado or a casual listener, you won't want to miss the one-of-a-kind experience that Nguyen Vinh Bao has to offer.
