Sài Gòn's Lost Rock 'n' Roll

Sài Gòn's Lost Rock 'n' Roll

Rock n’ roll came alive in Việt Nam in the midst of war.  Vietnamese musicians took inspiration from the beats and guitar riffs of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin and made it their own. The music that was created during this time is arguably some of the best rock music available, a unique sound that could only have existed in the contexts of which it was born. Loa's Stella Trần walks us through a collection of this groundbreaking music.
