What is the traditional song of the Vietnamese Student Association?

Origin History: The author of the song is Mr. Tran Hoang Tien. In March 1985, “Bài ca sinh viên” was born and was officially performed for the first time in the “Tiếng hát làng Sen” held in President Ho Chi Minh's hometown.

After that, it was widely disseminated, especially in the famous SV 96 Program of Vietnam Television.

The 9-1 Student group also brought the “Bài ca sinh viên” to the 12th World Youth and Student Festival held in 1985 in Moscow (former Soviet Association), and this song became the official song of the Vietnamese Student Association.

Currently, Vietnamese law does not have any specific legal document stipulating which song is considered the traditional song of the Vietnamese Student Association.

The designation of a song as the "traditional song" is usually determined through the usage process of the song and must have the general consensus of the student Association.

It can be said that the traditional song of the Vietnamese Student Association is the “Bài ca sinh viên”.
