For those unfamiliar with this genre of music, it is basically euro disco or euro pop. It is full of synthesized sounds and a very distinct euro beat. And during the 80s and 90s, the Vietnamese diaspora latched onto it so much that it basically became our anthem and our way of dealing with life.

I had the pleasure of seeing a screening of this documentary last week and I thought it was really good. It tells the story of our parents moving to where we are in the diaspora and us kids trying to find a way to adapt and live in a foreign country (even those of us born here).

It features Lynda Trang Đài and a few other notable Vietnamese celebrities.

Really really cool for those of us who grew up with New Wave. And even if you didn’t or aren’t Vietnamese, it tells a story that everyone in any asian diaspora can relate to.
