Annotation — Puerto Rican Songs
The song "Un soldado en Vietnam" ("A Soldier in Vietnam") - this is a very obscure, rare Puerto Rican record. Unfortunately nothing is known at present about this artist, record, label, and song. It is sung in the Bolero style - "type of Latin American Music ballad with a 2/4 time signature that appeared in eastern Cuba towards the end of the 19th century".
