Ru

“Ru” is a form of Vietnamese folk music. Although Quốc Bảo is a contemporary songwriter, he incorporates folksy elements into his songs. After listening to 9 Bài Ru, a compilation of his folksy ballads featuring performances from Nguyên Hà, Phạm Hoài Nam, and June Nguyễn, I would like to put together a Vietnamese typographical sample page. On the album, the melodies are beautiful and the lyrics are alluring. On the page, the words become poetry. This page is typeset in NaN Tragedy, designed by Jean-Baptiste Morizot, and Love Light, designed by Robert Leuschke. Enjoy 9 poems of “Ru.”
