Trong Nhan, a 9-year-old contestant with his undeniable skills on the drums, was named the new winner of Vietnam’s Got Talent on Friday.
The boy from Da Lat won the hearts of judges and viewers with a spectacular drumming performance and an amazing singing voice. He rocked the stage in Ho Chi Minh City with "Ngon Lua Cao Nguyen" (Highlands flame), an energetic song about the spirit of Vietnamese highlanders.
