Israeli electro-pop band to rock Hanoi this June

A couple of artists from Israel, namely Guitarist Anton Dmitriev and Julia Garnets, will perform in Vietnam for the first time on June 3, bringing magnetic energy both on and off stage.  

The duo of musicians is of the electro-pop band “Ice Hokku”, regularly selling out concerts in Tel Aviv. Their performance in Vietnam will follow the European tour.

“Ice Hokku is the perfect expression of Israeli culture and attitude. They bring the local sounds of our region but add a touch of innovation to the mix. Using a looper and technology, they introduce a new sound that I am sure the young Vietnamese audience will love as much as they do in Israel,” said the cultural attaché of the Israeli embassy about the upcoming show of an Israeli couple.

“When invited to Vietnam, we didn’t think twice about it. We were just in love with the idea of coming to Vietnam, like so many other Israelis,” Anton Dmitriev shared.

The duo is originally from Israel, with a very well-developed music scene. Anton Dmitriev said: “Especially in Tel Aviv, you can enjoy music every night. For good reason, it is called “the city that never sleeps”. From 7pm to 7am on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, you can enjoy non-stop live music: DJ sets, live indie shows, and concerts of all genres.

“While the larger venues showcase mainstream Israeli artists, a lot of music is independent and has a lot of collaborations,” said Garnits. The indie music scene in Tel Aviv, or ‘underground’ as it is known locally, is at a very high level. Israel is such a small country, yet there are many talented musicians.

This time, there is a lot of excitement about their arrival in Hanoi for an open-air live concert.

Founded in 2016, Ice Hokku grew up listening to Western music and was inspired by the authenticity of Israel and the Middle East. The band’s name is a play on words, a playful blend of Japanese poetry, Hokku, and ice hockey. Ice Hokku are Israeli live-looping artists with an electronic-acoustic sound. The mix of guitars, synthesizers, drum machines, and vocal layers creates a unique musical experience. The duo’s music is mostly pop songs in English and Hebrew with powerful, creative vocals.

The duo has released their debut live album, Fikus 2, two EPs, three singles, four clips, and five live sessions. They played about 150 sold-out shows in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, and many other cities in Israel. In 2022 Ice Hokku participated in the international Israel Music Showcase Festival. Last year they were on tour in Europe with stops in Berlin, Budapest, Prague, Kazakhstan, and other cities.

Hanoi sees light traffic congestion on the first working day after Tet

Image
Vehicles can easily move on usually-busy two-way streets. Compared to normal days, the traffic moving towards the capital’s gateways is heavy, although there is no signs of severe congestion. A long line of vehicles waits at a green light on Nguyen Trai street. A traffic police officer arrives early on Trieu Khuc street in order to guide the flow of traffic. The Nguyen Xien-Nguyen Trai intersection is slightly crowded, with vehicles able to move at a slow pace. Vehicles only clog up the area as cars and motorbikes wait for the light to turn green. During rush hour this morning, the majority of vehicles move at a snail’s pace on Nguyen Trai street. The same situation can be seen on Truong Chinh street. There are no traffic jams reported on Kham Thien, Ton Duc Thang, and Chua Boc streets. On the first working day of the new year, clear streets means no stress and a less tiring envi...

A training course on solid waste management was held in Yokohama, Japan on September 4th. The course was attended by representatives from local units and authorities in Da Nang, who are implementing waste sorting and 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) programs. This initiative is part of a project sponsored by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and implemented in collaboration with the Japanese Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES). The successful first stage of the project took place five years ago, with the support of these organizations, resulting in the implementation of waste sorting models in the community of Hai Chau and Thanh Khe districts. Building on this success, Da Nang plans to implement solid waste classification at source by 2025. Experts from Yokohama City and the Japanese Institute for Global Environmental Strategy (IGES), along with officials and residents of Nam Duong Ward, Hai Chau District, participated in the waste sorting model in...
