Congratulations to Josh Lee, Scott Ezell and their Project Live Music.

The group has been performing around town to big crowds.   Here’s a video of a performance at Tadioto, end of December.

Xin mời các bạn đến dự buổi trình diễn đặc biệt tại Tadioto với nhà thơ  Sri Lanka/Anh quốc Pireeni Sundaralingam và nhạc sĩ vĩ cầm Colm O’Riain.

Chủ Nhật 17 tháng 1, 2010 – 19:30 tại Tadioto, 113 TriệuViệt Vương, Hà Nội.

Please join us for an evening with Sri Lankan/British poet Pireeni Sundaralingam & violinist Colm O’Riain

Sunday 17 January, 2010 – 7:30pm at Tadioto.

cùng các nghệ sĩ Đào Ánh Khánh

Vũ Nhật Tân, Đòan Trí Minh, Thanh Lâm và Linh Dung

với sự cộng tác của Scott Ezell và Matt Steinglass.

The evening will also include performances with composers Vũ Nhật Tân

& Đòan Trí Minh, singers Linh Dung & Thanh Lâm and the artist Đào Anh Khánh.  In collaboration and with contributions from Scott Ezell & Matt Steinglass.

Đòan Trí Minh and Vũ Nhật Tân studied at musical institutions but have also in recent years been collaborating with fillmmakers, video artists and others to explore experimental styles of expressions. They are now considered to be at the forefront of new music in Việt Nam. http://www.hanoisoundstuff.com/

Thanh Lâm and Linh Dung are founding members of the contemporary music group Đại Lâm Linh, weaving modern poetry with traditional sounds and experimental vocals to create a new direction in Vietnamese music. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=723780164&ref=name#/pages/Dai-Lam-Linh/208697055301?ref=ts

Đào Anh Khánh’s extraordinary performances have sometimes been described as spontaneous, on-the-spot improvisations, but have remained a rare window into the psyche of contemporary artists seeking new means of expression in Việt Nam.

Based in San Francisco, Pireeni Sudaralingam & Colm O’Riain have been weaving music and cutting-edge poetry together to rave reviews.http://www.wordandviolin.com

Pireeni is a PEN USA Rosenthal Fellow and editor of Writing the Lines of Our Hands, the first anthology of South Asian American poetry.  Her poetry has appeared in both literary and political journals (such as World Literature Today, Ploughshares and The Progressive) as well as national newspapers such as The Guardian (UK), university teaching texts including Three Genres (Prentice-Hall, 8th Edition, 2006), and anthologies such as Masala (Macmillan, 2005) and Language for a New Century: Poetry from the Middle East, Asia and Beyond (Norton, 2008).

Violinist and composer Colm O’Riain is a former leader of the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland, he is also a well-known fiddler on the Irish music scene, finding a unique voice between Irish music and Jazz, Brazilian, Cuban, Indian, Gypsy and other musical genres.

HANOI, VIETNAM

Why in 2010: Vietnam’s leafy, atmospheric capital, Hanoi, celebrates its 1,000th birthday in 2010—that’s right, it’s a millennial bash—and the city is throwing a huge, yearlong coming-out party. A deep roster of cultural festivities, including flower festivals and art exhibitions (more info at vietnamtourism.com), is set for 2010, while local tour operators like Exotissimo Travel debut English-language tours that explore Hanoi’s days of colonial rulers and Communist heroes (exotissimo.com, from $45). At the same time, the city is burnishing its reputation as one of Asia’s coolest, fastest growing metropolises (its population has doubled since 1990 to reach nearly 6.5 million) with the opening of über-hip places like the year-old, artist-run café Tadioto (tadioto.com) and the three-story Tan My Design (tanmydesign.com), which showcases Hanoi’s top homegrown fashion.

Tại Tadioto, họ uống rồi hát rồi là ca nhạc.  Có người còn đọc cả thơ nữa.

Cuối năm, đầu năm mà.  It was new year’s eve.  Then the new year came.

At Tadioto, people drank and sang and played music. Some read poetry.

Many thanks to all who were there. Cảm ơn các bạn đã đến chơi.

in the new year. 2010.

December 20th – 8pm.

Not so long ago… and it’s been very good for me.  Hope it has been good for you too.   Please come and help welcome back the original tribe:   Frank Zeller and Da Thao Phuong, Dutch, Thang & Dung at the bar, Linh Dung, Scott Ezell, Jake…  Night after cold night, we gathered and talked, and we drank and laughed.   We’ll do it all over again.

We’ll go to the gallery upstairs to check out the amazing images of Morocco by Boris Zuliani.

On the third floor, we’ll have video projections: images of hands, birds, buildings and people in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, Saigon, etc.

We’ll have music by Thanh Lam, Nguyen Van Cuong, Scott Ezell, Linh Dung & more.

Belly dance performance.  Ali on drums.

Food by Hugo Barberis.

And YOU.  Nice clothes.
