Tapescript
Lan Huong: Hello, I`m Lan Huong. Our programme is "My Favourite Musician". Now, our guest tonight is Quang Hung, the well-known actor. Welcome to the programme, Quang Hung.
Quang Hung: Thanks, Lan Huong.
Lan Huong: Now Quang Hung, can you tell us about the Vietnamese musician you like best, please?
Quang Hung: Sure. Recently, there have been quite a few good musicians. Their songs are very popular and easy to listen to.
Lan Huong: Do you like them?
Quang Hung: Well, I do like some of them. But I think the best Vietnamese musician of all time is Van Cao. He`s really my favourite musician.
Lan Huong: Van Cao, the author of Tien Quan Ca? Well, can you tell us why you like him?
Quang Hung: He`s a great musician. Just listen to Tien Quan Ca. Whenever I hear it, I want to stand up and sing out as loud as possible. It`s hard and solemn. And I always feel proud of my country when I hear it.
Lan Huong: That`s true. It`s very rousing. Do you know when he wrote it?
Quang Hung: In 1944.
Lan Huong: Do you like any other songs by Van Cao?
Quang Hung: Oh, yes, lots of them. Especially the songs about rural life in Vietnam. They are sweet and gentle and very lyrical.
Lan Huong: Well; let me see if we can play one of the songs for you ...
Thank you very much
for your attention!
Good bye!
