When it comes to female songwriter Khúc Lan, music lovers often immediately recall her popular Vietnamese-lyric adaptations of foreign songs from the 1980s and 1990s.

There is no detailed public information about Khúc Lan’s real name or date of birth. What is known is that she is the younger sister of composer Phượng Vũ, the author of the famous military song “Áo nhà binh” (“The Military Uniform”), which was sung by Duy Khánh before 1975.

According to composer Phượng Vũ, his parents were married for three years without having children. Seeing this, his paternal grandmother became worried and arranged a second wife for his father. This second wife gave birth to two children. Eight years later, the first wife-his biological mother-gave birth to him and his younger sister, who would become the composer Khúc Lan.
