Hanoi Grapevine snuck out late last night and didn’t come back.
It now lives at its new home.
Please drop by for a visit, and change your bookmarks and RSS feed readers as appropriate.
This will, I hope, be welcome news, especially for those who had difficulties accessing the original site. This move should take care of that. (Let me know please!)

Singing with no lyrics, his music becomes narrative, expressive, strange and international. Matthieu Ha sings and plays accordion. Two drummers, one saxophonist and one gembri (Moroccan guitar) player accompany him.
“His fascinating contro alto voice goes beyond the words and puts you into a moving and powerful musical fantasy…”
