This is the second visit to Vietnam by La Grande Sophie. She first came to Vietnam in 2013 for performance at the Vietnam-France music festival.

Starting her career in the 1990s, La Grande Sophie created “kitchen miousic” which means music activity is little different from any other daily task. This popular and lifelike approach to writing and performing music is one of her distinctive characteristics.

On May 11, 2004, she released her third album, “Et si c’était moi” (If it were me), which earned her first Victoire de la musique, the annual French music awards. In January 2010, she was awarded the Grand Prix de l’Académie Charles Cros for her album “Des vagues et des ruisseaux” (Waves and streams).

Guest artist Vietnamese singer Le Cat Trong Ly will also be performing at the show in HCMC.

Cargo Bar is located at 7 Nguyen Tat Thanh Street, District 4, HCMC.

Tickets for the show which cost VND160,000 (US$7.12) are available at ticketbox.vn.
