Colombian singer-songwriter to entertain Vietnamese audiences
VOV.VN - Colombian artist Elkin Robinson is set to perform at the Hanoi Opera House on July 20 in order to mark the 43rd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Colombia this year.
The concert will see hit songs such as Heaven on the Mountain, Change, Sun a Shine, and Come Around introduced to Vietnamese audiences.
Furthermore, Elkin Robinson’s performance will also be accompanied by Vietnamese pianist Nguyen The Vinh, and the pair are expected to bring a wonderful performance to locals and foreigners in attendance.
The songwriter cum singer was born in Old Providence Island in Colombia.
His music represents the evolution of the folklore in the region, featuring traditional elements such as mentó and calypso executed on typical instruments such as the tinafono taking on the role of the bass, the horse jaw-bone, and maracas, all of which serve to recreate fresh rhythms and sounds.
The concert to be jointly organised by the Embassy of Colombia in Vietnam and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism aims to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the Vietnam – Colombia diplomacy and the 212th Independence Day of the South American nation.
