In the 1960s until the mid 1970s, Saigon had become a fertile environment for a flourishing music industry which produced many recordings of beautifully crafted songs. Ho Chi Minh City based band Saigon Soul Revival has been bringing alternative pre-1975 music from Saigon back to the stage with their live performances. Honoring the original composers, singers and the golden era from which this music came, while applying new arrangements and interpretations of old Vietnamese songs. The album focuses on compositions which fuse Vietnamese lyrics and sounds with influences of western rock, soul, bolero, tango and other popular genres, of which most of them were banned after the war. This project strives to revive this beautiful musical heritage of Vietnam which represents an important cultural bridge between east and west.
