The event was graced by the presence of Mr. Bui Xuan Du - husband of author Dinh Hang, along with their son - the talented young entrepreneur Bui Quang Minh (Chairman of Beta Group). Shark Minh Beta is also known as an investor on Shark Tank Vietnam 2023, and the composer of the "national anthem" beloved by young people, "Vietnam Oi."
Originating from her fondness for reciting poetry and her own poetic talent, Shark Minh Beta persuaded his mother to create a poetry & music collection featuring her own compositions and famous works such as "Tu Hat" (Singing to Myself), "Me cua anh" (Your Mother) by poet Xuan Quynh, "Que Huong" (Homeland) by poet Do Trung Quan, "Cuoc Chia Ly Mau Do" (The Red Farewell) by poet Nguyen My, and more. According to author Dinh Hang, although simple, this is a warm and affectionate gift from the whole family to her, contributing to bringing literary and poetic works to friends, relatives, and those who love the art of poetry recitation. Most importantly, it helps her fulfill her passion for poetry, literature, and singing in her twilight years.
Author Dinh Hang is a resourceful businesswoman in the commercial arena, but at home, she remains a gentle daughter, wife, and mother. This is reflected in her composed verses, as well as in the way Ms. Hang expresses poems through her soft and deeply emotional recitation voice. In approximately 60 minutes of the poetry and music MV "Tim Me" (Searching for Mother), audiences will enjoy 7 musical poems themed around mothers, homeland, and country. Accompanying author Dinh Hang is MC Thao Van, who guides the audience through the stories of Shark Minh's mother interwoven into each poem.
At the press conference, Shark Minh shared that since childhood, he had listened to verses and melodies performed by his mother, which nurtured his love for music and art. He stated that this MV was made simply and sincerely, not intending to be a professional or commercial work, but purely a gift for his mother, honoring the love for music and poetry. "No matter who we are, where we are, or what age we are, we can completely enjoy the love of music and also inspire those around us," businessman Minh Beta added.
The style of poetry recitation and music is still quite new to young people, but for previous generations, this is a highly beloved art form. Poetry recitation is a combination of inspirational reading voice, blended with musical instruments such as zither, monochord, and flute. At the Poetry and Music Collection "Tim Me" event, author Dinh Hang showcased her sweet and seasoned reciting voice with works in the MV such as "Vieng Me" (Visiting Mother) - her own poetic composition, an inspiring mashup with businessman Shark Minh Beta "Que Huong - Viet Nam Oi," and the song "Khuc Hat Song Que" (Song of the Homeland River). In addition, she comfortably and enthusiastically shared her personal experiences in reciting poetry with the audience and the press.
Author Dinh Hang brings to the audience a very youthful and profound feeling when interacting and talking. When listening to her poetry voice, listeners will also perceive another aspect, which is the depth and sentimentality coming from a woman who has experienced many hardships in life.
Currently, the Poetry & Music Collection "Tim Me," including 8 poems and songs, has been released on online music platforms and the Minh Beta Official YouTube channel.
