Borrowing familiar images and flavors from dishes to open up a larger theme of family, Den shared: "Den thinks that traditional dishes also preserve great cultural values ​​of Vietnamese people, so sometimes even when far away, seeing home-cooked dishes also brings some warmth on the last day of the year.

When Den raps on this traditional melody, everything is still rhythmic, natural and not forced, like the verses and verses that the elders used to play with words with the rhythm of the beats in the past."

After 3 years of returning with a song on the occasion of Tet, Den said: "Tet brings many cultural and spiritual values, from which Den creates musical products. The cultural traditions of the nation are a great source of inspiration to fill the soul of each person. Without those wonderful values, Den could not have written songs like "Vị nhà". Den is truly grateful to his ancestors for generations who have preserved the national culture so that descendants like Den can still enjoy it, and appreciates the efforts of artists who have been and are contributing to preserving and developing the national cultural values."
