The event, held by the Japan Foundation and CAMA Vietnam, will gather the participation of the internationally famous Japanese jazz group SOIL & “PIMP” SESSIONS and the local jazz-funk group Nga Tu Mat Dien, and GiGi Mix DJ.

SOIL & “PIMP” SESSIONS combines world class musicianship with the coolest of sounds and attitude into a heady mix of jazz, fun and entertainment. Their brand of jazz is unconventional and designed to break down barriers, whether they be conventions of genre, cultural barriers or stolid audience-performer relationships.

The quintet Nga Tu Mat Dien has been playing shows in Hanoi’s capital for more than 15 years and has a tight enough sound to prove it. Keeping the party going between bands will be GiGi Mix, one of Hanoi’s most entertaining DJs.

The event is a part of activities to welcome the Japan – Vietnam Friendship Year 2013.
