Đỗ Nhuận

Đỗ Nhuận (December 10, 1922 in Hải Dương – May 18, 1991 in Hà Nội) was a Vietnamese classical composer.

[2] Don't confuse with an earlier Đỗ Nhuận (born 1440), a high ranking politician, a notable poet, member of Tao Đàn nhị thập bát tú [vi] - a famous association of 28 poets under the command of King Lê Thánh Tông.

[3] Unlike most of the musicians at that time who followed the romantic orientation, Đỗ Nhuận entered the music industry with patriotic songs.

Because of those songs and other activities assigned by the Việt Minh front, such as printing and distributing propaganda leaflets for the revolution, mobilizing students and young people to respond to movements, he became a key cadre of the Việt Minh among Hải Phòng youth and students.

[5] Đỗ Nhuận was the General Secretary of the Vietnam Musicians' Association in two continuous terms (1957-1963, and 1963-1983).
