Annotation — North Vietnamese Songs
Released in Beijing, China, on China Record Company (# M-951), this release, as seen in the title, included songs about various countries and conflicts, showing solidarity between communism movements around the around - similar to the 1964 Chinese record 风雷之歌 (Song of Wind and Thunder), discussed above. While this is sung in Chinese, and part of Chinese Music genre, it is musically similar to the Vietnamese Nhạc đỏ ("Red Music") genre, thus included here as a cultural comparison. Tracks related specifically to the Vietnam War are the song "中越人民友谊之歌" ("Song of Friendship Between the Chinese and Vietnamese People"), the song "中老人民友谊之歌" ("Song of Friendship Between the People of China and Laos"), and the song "郭励中柬人民友谊之歌" ("Song of Friendship Between the People of China and Cambodia"). More generic titles included the track "反帝大军乘胜前进" ("The Anti-Imperialist Contingent Advances from Victory to Victory").
