Minh's Jazz Club

My personal experiences over there was that the cafe is frequented mostly by foreigners, and the song performed are mostly foreign songs. Also, the cafe would be almost always full whenever there was performances. Thus, showing the trend once again towards foreign developments. Economically, this place can also considered to be one of the places for tourism, a key economic entity. Some of the nationalities of people I talked to were from Korea, Japan, Australia and Britain, some of which were specially looking for Jazz music, something close to their own culture and similar to what they would find in their home country, and others, here on business meetings, again using music as an economic entity. An interview with owner Quyen Van Minh noted that he opened the cafe in hope of popularizing Jazz as a genre of music among the Vietnamese, as well to create an avenue of Jazz lovers in Vietnam. Thus , his transition as a famous foreign output. Hence, music performances in this cafe help to bridge the gap between home and away, and foreign with local, a construction of imaginary boundaries as well as an avenue to showcase different forms and styles of music.
