To commemorate the 24th anniversary of composer Trịnh Công Sơn’s passing, the Vietnam Studies Center, in collaboration with the Trịnh Công Sơn family, launches the podcast series Trịnh Công Sơn Của Tôi & Của Chúng Ta. Episode #1, titled “Căn nhà ta nằm nhỏ” (a lyric from the song Như một hòn bi xanh), features guest Trịnh Vĩnh Trinh, the composer’s youngest sister, and is now available on Spotify. This opening episode offers a rare, intimate portrait of Trịnh Công Sơn’s early life. Through Trịnh Vĩnh Trinh’s recollections, listeners are invited into the family home and the formative experiences that shaped his music: from composing his first song “Sương đêm” with a guitar gifted by his mother, to his friendship with cultural icons Nguyễn Tuân and Văn Cao, and his life at 47C Phạm Ngọc Thạch. The episode also highlights his gentle yet principled role as an older brother, and the Buddhist roots of his compassion and forgiveness.
