Annotation
As suggested in the title - "Vietnam sings to Cuba - Cuba sings to Vietnam" - half the songs (the A-side) are by Cuban artists, the other half (the B-side) by North Vietnamese, with the two countries showing solidarity for their repective causes. Released in Cuba. Two of the songs on the Vietnamese side dealt with the relationship, called "Vietnam-Cuba" , performed firstly by Trần Kiết Tường, and secondly by Hoàng Vân. The Cuban artists were associated with the Nueva canción latinoamericana movement, many discussed above. Pablo Milanés had two songs: "Ho Chi Minh: Su nombre puede ponerse en versos" ("Ho Chi Minh: His Name Can Be Put into Verses")" and "Por que" ("Why"). Other songs were: Omara Portuondo - "Cuento para un niño" ("Story for a Child"), Silvio Rodríguez - "3,000 pajaros negros" ("3,000 Black Birds"), Elena Burke - "La hora de todos" ("Everyone's Time"), Carlos Puebla - "David y Goliath" ("David and Goliath"), and Ramón Calzadilla y el Coro del ICR - "Himno de la victoria" ("Hymn of Victory").
