About the Artist
Internationally acclaimed Dan Bau (monochord)
player, Pham Duc Thanh was born in Ninh Binh,
northern Vietnam, in 1956. Displaying a remarkable
musical aptitude as a child, Duc Thanh was already
playing the Dan Bau (monochord), as well as the Dan
Tranh (16-string zither) and Dan Nhi (two-string
fiddle)by the age of six. In 1974, Duc Thanh moved
to Hanoi, where he studied at a popular traditional
theatre school and joined the leading Hat Cheo
theatre group as a Dan Bau player. After attending
Saigon's Research Center for Music, he went on to
become one of the country's top Dan Bau players of
traditional and contemporary music.
In August 1990, Duc Thanh and his wife, singer
Nguyet Lan, left Vietnam and moved to Germany for
several years before emigrating to Canada in 1996.
Today, the Montreal based multi-instrumentalist is
known as one of the world's leading exponents of
traditional Vietnamese Music.
