HCM CITY (VNS) — The annual Record and CD Fair will open tomorrow at the Workers Culture Palace on Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street in District 1.

About 50 local music and film producers and distributors nationwide will take part in the three-day fair that is being held as part of the city's efforts to dissuade people from producing and using illegal products.

Among the participants are major producers like Phuong Nam Film, Ben Thanh Audio, Viet Tan Studio and Sai Gon Vafaco.

Organised by Phuong Nam Film in co-operation with the Recording Industry Association of Viet Nam (RIAV), the event aims to encourage local companies to develop their business, find new partners, promote and market programmes at home and abroad.

More than 5,000 quality CDs, DVDs and videos featuring music, films, cartoons and games manufactured and distributed by local and foreign companies will be on sale at discounts of 10-30 per cent.

DVDs of Hollywood productions from Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and Vision will also be sold at the event.

Concerts by popular singers will be staged every night as an added attraction to the fair. — VNS
