Today is the day of our visit of Vietnam, we'll end up with an interesting LP from another obscure vietnamese label from France THIENG HAT QUE HUONG (Union des intellectuels vietnamiens de France SF 570-146, early 70's). It's probably from the same people as the 7' from last week (the label names and subjects are pretty similar).
Unlike the previous posts this record focuses mostly on Vietnamese folk songs and traditionnal instruments. It also include some poetry (02/10) exerpt from popular theater (04) and monochord instruments concerto (05). Though the gorgeous cover and record seemed all mint you can expect some windy noise all around...

"song from the rushes field"
02 BA ME SUOT
"mother Suot"
03 TOY GAP CHI AY
"meeting"
04 HAU PHUONG GUI TIEN TUYEN

05 VI MIEN NAM

07 EM LA HOA PO-LANG

09 XA KHOI
