Trúc Hồ là một nhạc sĩ người Mỹ gốc Việt nhà sản xuất, được biết đến với những đóng góp cho các chương trình ca nhạc tạp kỹ Asia (do công ty Asia Entertainment sản xuất), cũng như kênh SBTN Saigon Broadcasting Television Network của anh 24 giờ tiếng Việt.Truc Ho is an award-winning Vietnamese American composer, musician, and activist, renowned for his hundreds of compositions, most notably, “Đáp Lời Sông Núi,” “Triệu Con Tim,” and “Tinh Yêu, Tình Người,” which seeks social justice through music. His work combines elements of orchestral, choral, acoustic, and electronic genres to create diverse scoundscapes with roots in Vietnamese music and culture to construct provocative and inspiring musical compositions.Truc Ho’s musical commentaries of society and the Vietnam War are drawn from his life as a political refugee. In 1981, he left his home and communist Vietnam at 16 years old. He traveled for seven (7) days through Cambodia and Thailand by foot, bicycle, train, and cargo bus.He avoided bombs and being caught by the Khmer Rouge. Fortunate to have been let go by the latter, he was stripped of all clothes and possessions. He walked naked toward the border of Thailand where he was taken in by the International Red Cross. His experience as a political refugee has inspired him to actively raise concerns for human rights and freedom against oppressive regimes and become a beloved activist and leader in the Vietnamese community.Truc Ho currently serves as the President of Bên Em Đang Có Ta (or “Stand by You”) Foundation, which celebrates its 15th year of service this year. Its core mission is to bring social change through music and charitable activities. The Foundation has successfully mobilized the Vietnamese American community to offer humanitarian support to those in need, both inVietnamese and non-Vietnamese communities. The Foundation has had a strong track record in fundraising on multimedia platforms to support those suffering from social and natural disasters, with over $4,405,114.17 donated to over sixteen (16) different causes since its inception. These donations helped not only Americans who suffered from the storms Harvy, Irma, and Maria, over the years, but also victims of the Nepal earthquake in 2015, and Filipino victims of the 2013 HaiyanTypoon as well as victims of the wars in Afghanistan and Ukraine. The Foundation also lens numerous campaigns to advocate for human rights in Vietnam and Hong Kong, which has created a community of understanding and compassion for different plights.In addition to his work at Stand by You Foundation, Truc Ho currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Saigon Broadcasting Television Network (“SBTN”), the first and largest television network in North America that provides Vietnamese Americans with news, cultural, and entertainment content in the Vietnamese language.

Brian was born in Vietnam a few years after the war ended. At an early age, he and his parents left and spent about 6 months in a refugee camp before relocating to Canada. As a kid, his dad would often pose his He-Man action figures and draw them. Seeing how his dad was able to take a real-life object and turn it into a drawing, Brian was inspired. This was something he wanted to be able to do so he became that kid that would draw at the back of the class. He eventually got into and graduated from the Interpretive Illustration program at Sheridan College in Oakville, ON where he would meet my future wife.After years of working a day job while only doing art on the side, he went full-time into art in 2014. While his earlier work was inspired by the pop culture media he consumed, in recent years he's dedicated all his energy and time into exploring the history and the culture of his Vietnamese heritage through his art.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vietnamese-with-kenneth-nguyen/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This is a rebroadcast of a Vietnamese language episode #33 with Anh Thang Do, a well respected and beloved bedrock member of the Vietnamese American community in San Jose, California.I reached out to anh Thang Do to request a third interview a few months ago (he was on the Vietnamese podcast twice). He politely declined, citing health reasons. I had no idea what he was going through until a few days ago.This last week my Facebook account was filled with anh Thang’s passing as his friends recounted his brilliance, humility and empathy.Anh Thang Do will be missed greatly in his community and far beyond. This interview with anh Thang articulates his sincere love for his community and humanity.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vietnamese-with-kenneth-nguyen/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
