Ngọc Đại is one of the most influential composers in contemporary music in Vietnam. Due to the socio-political and sexual lyrics, the original album was prohibited by government to release in Vietnam. This album presents the Dai's unique singing style, evoking the northern Vietnamese folksong, composition based on the chanson music. Ngọc Đại was born in 1946 in Vietnam. He studied composition in Hanoi Conservatory from 1977 to 1983 but soon decided to leave the national communist system and live as a true independent artist and is probably the only socially and politically committed composer in Vietnam and he has also been recently convicted by the Vietnamese Authorities for being a counter-revolutionary artist when his last album was released.
