“Play the psalm ‘Cô Đôi Thượng Ngàn’ to any Vietnamese, and chances are they will dance with their wrists, sing along to the finale, or even know the full lyrics! Arguably one of the most popular folk songs in Vietnam, ‘Cô Đôi Thượng Ngàn’ is a favorite among local DJs and music producers, making its appearance in a Boiler Room set, grand performances on TV shows, as well as being a cult classic in vinahouse clubs all over Vietnam.” Listen to “Cô Đôi Thượng Ngàn” in some of its variations below:

• • “Cô Đôi Thượng Ngàn,” on TV
    
    
  • “Cô Đôi Thượng Ngàn,” House Remix
    
    
  • “Hanoi (Cô Đôi Thượng Ngàn Interlude),” in Boiler Room set
    Author's Note: “This remix uses the ‘interlude’ part of the psalm and not the actual song—where they praise ‘cô đôi thượng ngàn.’ The interlude is also used in several other psalms, so calling it ‘cô đôi thượng ngàn’ is a bit misleading. The actual song used here is just called ‘Hanoi.’”
