Vietnamese band Saigon Soul Revival bringing back pop in Vietnam

When the North Vietnamese triumphed over the South in 1975, ending the war there, the new Communist regime banned Western pop music, replacing it with what’s known as “red music” or Nhac Do, songs that espoused the revolutionary path the country was taking. Since 2016, however, a band from Ho Chi Minh City known as Saigon Soul Revival has been bringing back the pop sounds pre-1975, and has recently been getting global attention. Co-hosts Marco Werman and Carolyn Beeler give it a listen.
