Le Cat Trong Ly is a Vietnamese singer/songwriter of contemporary Vietnamese folk music, mixing Western influences to more traditional Vietnamese sounds. As an independent artist, her work reflect questions of culture and identity. Writing all her songs herself, Ly's style is mostly acoustic, using a guitar or a piano. The minimalist feeling of the ensemble allows the audience to deeply feel the depth and tone of her words and to be caught by her clear voice. Free-spirited, untied to any specific music label, she is only driven by her passion for music, staying remotely away from any stardom aspiration. Her poetic lyrics appeal to the beauty of natural elements, considering the universe as a whole, linking nature to people and their emotions.
