A defiant musicologist
Published: 04/04/2009 05:00
Vu Ba Pho’s mind often travels back to when he was just an eight year old boy. It was then that his parents sowed the seeds of his love affair with traditional music by giving him a dan nguyet (mandolin).
The instrument was the envy of his friends and Pho barely let it leave his hands. He taught himself to play the dan nguyet and dreamed of becoming a musician in the future. By the time Pho was ready to graduate from school the nation was still battling for independence against French colonial forces. VietNamNet/Timeout |
