Two tour guides in their late 50s have been a ‘sensation’ in the eyes of tourists to Nha Trang City in the past few years for all the amusement and relaxation that they bring.

Several tourists have returned to Viet Nam and Nha Trang in particular mostly to see these two boisterous guides again.

The pair are Tran Ngoc Muoi, 58, and Vo Lang, 56, also known as Ba.

According to Ho Van Tin, director of Nha Trang Tourism Co., a local travel firm, Muoi and Lang are the oldest guides of the company and the city.

Tourists, including foreigners, on board a boat off Nha Trang City, the capital of the south-central province of Khanh Hoa, are entranced by a "home-made" music performance and exchange by Tran Ngoc Muoi (right, in orange shirt), 58, and 56-year-old Vo Lang (left, in orange shirt).

During a newspaper reporter’s recent trip to Nha Trang, her boat stopped for lunch next to place where Muoi and Lang docked their vessel.

The passengers on board the two’s boat had finished lunch by then and were being pampered with a ‘home-made’ music performance and exchange.

One of the quinquagenarian pair was seen cracking jokes and cheering up the atmosphere on a speaker in fluent English, while the other was swinging to South Korean rapper PSY's hit “Gangnam Style,” which triggered a global fever some years ago, amidst the Asian and European tourists’ thunderous applause.

Muoi and Lang were also playing music to further charge up the atmosphere on their home-made drums, which are innovatively made from halved casks, pots and pot lids.

The pair’s band is made up of sous-chefs and cake specialists.

Muoi began his performance with a hallmark Vietnamese folk song titled “Trong Com” (tom-tom drum) before asking groups of tourists from different countries to take the stage and perform their own country’s iconic songs.

He also crooned the songs representative of the tourists’ countries, including modern hits, and spurred tourists to sing along and sway to the music.

Such ‘multinational’ music performances and exchanges came into being four years ago.
