" Radio is anti-algorithm. It's just people sharing from the love.
The arts are best served by the people who would be doing it even if they weren't being paid.
July 2026
When the KoFi crew talk about a music night in Hội An, they don't say they're going. They say they're coming home (về, not đi). That word does a lot of work. Ten years ago, the very first "music tour" this Hà Nội collective ever ran came here, to Hội An and Đà Nẵng. So when they wrapped the southern leg of their 10-year birthday tour, Thập Phương Hoan K, there was really only one place to celebrate.
"We don't say we're going to Hội An. We say we're coming home."
They brought the whole family with them. Over two nights in late July, Pink Frog, Mạnh Ninh, Trịnh Trung Kiên, Ba Con Sâu, Mesid3 and DJ Red carried the KoFi spirit down the coast and handed it to the local scene to hold. Friday (24th) opened loose and easy with a popup jamming session at Roots Bar, An Bàng, the kind of unplanned, everyone-plays night this crowd does best. Then Saturday (25th) went all in: a full-day flea market and music show at Hoa Lá, on the riverside at Cửa Đại, 10am to 10pm.
Hoa Lá threw its doors open and let the day breathe. Doors and the market at 10, an immersive listening session inside a video projection of Somethingmaker's Mangroves: Wet Meadow around midday, a life-drawing session with Zara in the afternoon, an AJAR Press poetry jam, and then the music from 5pm until DJ Red closed it out at 9. In between there was a water-themed art exhibition (photography by Phạm Công Minh, video works by Đầu Mì and Hoàng Anh Nguyễn, and Sơn Nguyễn's paintings up in the gym from 3:30), a market of handmade jewelry, thrifted clothes, books and natural cosmetics, a pop-up barber, Chị Vinh's Hà Nội bánh giò, and bún chả and phở from Đàm Đang next door.
Thập Phương Hoan K rolls on. This is a city tour unfolding across a number of months, so if you missed the Hội An stop, it's still out there somewhere down the road, carrying its own colour into the next town.
Sơn Nguyễn is a multidisciplinary artist, originally from Hà Nội. Murals are his real passion, bringing colour, brightness and a bit of positivity to every place he's invited to paint. His work is on this edition's pages, and on walls all over town. A new visual artist features each edition.
