VOV.VN - Peruvian and Vietnamese artists took part in the 'Q'pop & Quechua Concert' held at the Hanoi Opera House on October 23 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and Peru (November 14, 1994 - 2024).
Addressing the event, Ambassador of Peru to Vietnam Patricia Yolanda Ráez shared that over the past three decades, the two countries have not only enjoyed a good relationship, but also had respect for each other's culture.
She expressed hope that there would be more cultural exchange activities to be held in the coming time in a bid to boost mutual understanding between the two peoples.
The concert opened with a performance put on by classic Vietnamese guitarist Vu Hien.
Peruvian singer Yolanda Pinares then brought unique melodies of her homeland to the event through traditional pieces of work such as SiwarQ'inti and Orqopi Vicuna.
She later joined Phan Thuy, a famous Vietnamese artist of đàn tỳ bà (plucked four-string instrument), to put on a special performance that received a big applause from local audiences.
Peruvian singer Lenin Tamayo, who has been dubbed the founder of ‘Q-pop’, also took the stage, by combining traditional Andean folk music with pop inspired instrumentation and dance.
His hit songs, including When I'm Here, How so, and Festival of the Sun, all received much applause from audiences.
The concert closed with a special performance by all artists, singing Hello Vietnam.
