HCM City (VNA) - Local and foreign artists will bring the contemporary sound of digital music to Ho Chi Minh City on Nov. 23.

German representatives of contemporary electro-culture, the brothers Andi
and Hannes Teichmann, who are influenced by acid rock, minimal techno, rock,
and other genres, will perform.

HCM City 's Music Conservatory and Tri Minh, a popular DJ who participated
in a digital music festival called "Asia Pacific Plate" last August in
Germany .

The Germans are in town to perform at the European Commission's 2008
European Music Festival to be held in Hanoi and HCM City from Nov.

The Teichmanns, who work as digital musicians and DJs, are considered a
symbol of German electro-culture.

Born in Revensburg in 1976 and 1979, respectively, Andi and Hannes
discovered a love of music at an early age from their father, the jazz
saxophone player Uli Teichmann.

At the ages of nine and 12, they founded the kiddie punk band "Total Loss".
In 1997 they created the electro-rock band Beige GT, which won national and
international acclaim in 2001 with its first album, Jukebox Heroes.

Their passion for digital music finds expression in their work as
producers of electronic sound. In 2002 they were awarded the Culture Prize
of the City of Regensburg , becoming the youngest recipients in the city's
history.

They will perform at the Parkson Saigontourist Plaza , 35 Bis - 45
Le Thanh Ton Street , District 1, HCM City . Entrance is free.-Enditem
