Music video honors frontline medical workers
As COVID-19 is affecting countries all over the world, people are understandably in need of a little cheering up – and that includes frontline medical workers who have made immense personal sacrifices to beat the virus.
That’s why two Vietnamese singers, Đạt G and Du Uyên, got together to pen a song that honors our frontliners’ contributions in our country’s battle against the coronavirus outbreak, and that also encourages everyone to stay home and keep each other safe against the virus.
On 29th March, Đạt G and Du Uyên released the song called DIỆT GIẶC CORONA (Slay Corona), to much acclaim on Youtube and social media.
