Pieni Vietnam-laulu [Little Vietnamese Song]

Annotation

Various artist compilation, on Helsinki-based record label Love Records (# LRLP 75) (same label as above), titled "Songs by Marja-Leena Mikkola" - songwriter born on 18 March 1939 in Salo, Finland. It includes the song "Pieni Vietnam-laulu" ("A Small Vietnamese Song"), performed by Kirsi Neuvonen, born on 27 October 1950 in Finland, a member of Helsinki-based protest folk group Agit-Prop. Note this group released the song "Vietnamissa, Vietnamissa" ("In Vietnam, In Vietnam"). It seems the lyrics of this track were later published in a book of poems, called "Lävistetty sydän : runoja sodasta ja rauhasta" ("A Pierced Heart: Poems About War and Peace") (1979), which features the Marja-Leena Mikkola poem "Pieni Vietnam-laulu : Vietnam on tullut minun luokseni" ("A Little Vietnam Song: Vietnam Has Come To Me").12Sources1jyu.finna.fi↩2JYU Finna: Lävistetty sydän — runoja sodasta ja rauhasta (ed.
