Saigon Supersound Volume 2 SAIGON SUPERSOUND Records, 2018
2-LPS Gatefold Sleeve Imported from Germany
Saigon Supersound Volume 2 presents more interesting tunes of a musical era that has long been obscured. As with Saigon Supersound Vol. 1, this new volume digs deeper to share the beautiful music of a short but significant period in Vietnam's history.
Much like the country itself, the music of Vietnam has endured many twists.
As the result of the Geneva Accords in 1954, Vietnam was divided into two. From the North, the Nationalist forces fought to reunite Vietnam as a Communist state, while American troops backed the government of the South.
This caused a mass migration of Northerners to the South, which included many Tân Nh?c (modern music) singers and songwriters.
Tân Nh?c continued to develop in the South, moving on from the influences of its main inspiration, French music.
In the North, the Resistance music, the so-called Nh?c ?? (Red Music), promoted socialism, patriotism and anti-capitalism and was the only genre allowed on national radio.
Between 1954-1960, the theme of (quê h??ng), or hometown, was a main inspiration for many songwriters such as Hoàng Thi Th?, Lam Ph??ng and Nguy?n H?u Thi?t.
The 9th track on the compilation, "Thôn Tr?ng M? H?i Tr?ng Tròn" showcases a variety of images often described in this genre: the harvest moon, playful children, an old mother.
Every recording made in this era is then an organic combination of human experiences, communications and uniqueness.
In 1965, the first American troops landed in Vietnam, bringing with them the musical influences of the likes of Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and Elvis Presley.
The Vietnamese people quickly integrated it into the repertoire with the hope of further diversifying the music of Vietnam. Constantly changing and learning from different cultures, the modern music of Vietnam cuts a window into the soul of a Vietnamese person and the country's history as a whole.
With that, the hope is that Saigon Supersound Vol. 2 would take you on a trip back to the unique atmosphere of Saigon through the different palettes of music that this beautiful place offers.
