Green Wind Choir participates in the historic concert of The Wall Band.

Magnificent, impressive and full of emotions!
That is what the audience felt when attending the music night of The Wall Unplugged – The rain of the ages ( or “The rain in May” ), on the evening of October 27, 2024 at Ho Guom Opera House, Hanoi.

In the historic music night marking the 29th anniversary of The Wall Band, Green Wind Choir performed in 5 acts, contributing to an unforgettable live show of the legendary rock band.

The Wall Band has made a remarkable impact on generations of music lovers in Vietnam, with 7 studio albums and numerous explosive nationwide tours and live shows. In 2016, Tran Lap, the band’s iconic leader, lead vocalist, and songwriter, passed away, leaving a significant void in The Wall’s presence after 21 years together. To both the band and its devoted fans, Tran Lap remains the eternal soul and a source of inspiration in this journey that was never an easy path.

The late musician and singer Tran Lap will forever be the symbol and soul of the Wall Band.

“The rain of the ages ( or “The rain in May” ) – This piece can be seen as a reflection on past experiences, symbolizing both the showers of youth and the most intense storms one has faced.

Unplugged – This show concept embraces raw, acoustic instruments, from Guitar Acoustic, Piano, Jazz drums, to strings, bringing a fresh and emotive arrangement to 29 of The Wall’s best songs, all set in the beautiful Ho Guom Opera House. Here, The Wall will recount their incredible 29-year journey.

The live show The Wall Unplugged – The rain of the ages ( or “The rain in May” ) is the first live show performed in an opera house by the legendary rock band.

Over the past 8 years, The Wall has gradually made its way back to music with relentless effort and creativity.
