Buc Tuong (The Wall) represents Vietnam at the ASEAN - India Music Festival 2024. As the first to perform, the Vietnamese band rocked the outdoor stage at Purana Qila, one of the oldest forts in Delhi, with its famous songs.

Opening the event, Indian Minister of State for External Affairs Pabitra Margherita affirmed that music is a common language that inspires, heals and connects people. This festival highlights the cultural bond that India and ASEAN have built over the years. It is a celebration of how music transcends borders and strengthens the ties between ASEAN and India in their shared journey of development, he said.

The ASEAN-India Music Festival 2024, which brings together 10 bands from ASEAN member states and five bands from the host nation, gives the audience a rare opportunity to experience the rich and diverse sounds of both regions at one location.

The event was first held in October 2017 and has since developed into a large-scale music festival, with the aim of boosting cultural exchanges among ASEAN member states and India.

Originally established on March 26, 1995, from the students’ musical movement of the National University of Civil Engineering, rock band The Wall first consisted of three members Tran Lap, Tran Tuan Hung, and Nguyen Hoang. Many songs by the band have become hits, particularly among Vietnamese students. Their leader, main singer and musician Tran Lap died of cancer in 2016. The remaining four members have since maintained the band’s fame at big musical events.
