I have anxiously been waiting for this episode. When you were talking about Vietnamese rock following Doi Moi, I worried there might be some references to "Hanoi Rocks".
It is interesting that you mentioned "yellow music". I first heard the term when researching about Bolero music, which is a much different style. I guess only patriotic anthems were allowed in those early days.

Thanks for the listen and glad you liked it, I've heard of Hanoi Rocks but not sure I'm familiar with their music, are they German? 😅
I am not really sure. I vaguely remember them from when I was a kid. I think they were primarily known for impressive hair.
