Vietnam

Lucy Duran presents two programmes from Vietnam. In the first she is joined by Vietnamese musician Tran Quang Hai who makes the long journey home for the first time after 41 years of exile in Paris. They visit the bustling capital Hanoi, a city brimming with traditional music and culture.

In the second programme they visit the Southern capital where Hai was brought up: Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City. As well as sampling the vibrant night life they hear traditional ritual music and visit one of the youngest and most famous zither players in Vietnam.
