Reviving Traditional Music: Hanoi’s Artist Nurtures a Dream

During the festive season of Tet (Lunar New Year), the streets are filled with beautiful peach blossoms as preparations are made for the upcoming celebration. Musician Nguyen Quang Long, known for his expertise in traditional Xam music, has recently shared his latest music video titled Xam Tet Viet (a song about the Vietnamese Lunar New Year) with The Hanoi Times . Being born in the Year of the Dragon (1976), Nguyen Quang Long has big plans for the Year of the Dragon in 2024, as it marks his 30th year in the music industry. Often referred to as the “archaeologist” of Xam art, Long is renowned for his efforts in rediscovering and preserving many classic Xam songs.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract. However, due to a mismatch in playing style, Tiep terminated his contract with SHB Da Nang and reimbursed one year’s worth of the signing fee. According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
