Saigon Supersound Continues.. to
present more interesting tunes of a
musical era that has long been
obscured. With the well-received Volume
1, we are very delighted to dig deeper
and share with you the beautiful music
of a short but significant period in
Vietnamæs 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 the American
troops backed the government of the
South. This caused a mass migration of
Northerners to the South, which
includes many Tan Nhac (Modern Music)
singers and songwriters. Often
characterized by its emotive, poetic
and prolific personality, Tan Nhac
continued to freely develop in the
South and progressively vacating from
the influences of its main inspiration,
French music. In the North, the
Resistance music, or the so-called Nhac
Dho (Red Music), which promoted
socialism, patriotism and anti-
capitalism was the only genre allowed
on national radio. Tan Nhac was
something new to the South Vietnamese
repertoire. Between 1954 - 1960, the
theme of hometown (que huong) was a
main inspiration for many songwriters
such as Hoang Thi Thiet, Lam Phuong and
Nguyen Huu Thiet. The 9th title of the
compilation, "Thon Trang Mo Hoi Trong
Tron" showcases a variety of images
that were often described in this
genre: the harvest moon, playful
children, old mother...
Every recording made in this era is
then an organic combination of human
experiences, communications and
uniqueness. In 1965, the first American
troop landed in Vietnam, bringing with
them the musical influences of the
Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis
Presley... The Vietnamese people
quickly integrated it into the
repertoire with hope to further
diversify 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, we hope
that Saigon Supersound Volume 2 would
take you on a trip back to the unique
atmosphere of Saigon through the many
different palettes of music that this
beautiful place offers.
