The family had heard some mention of their mom as a singer at the time, but the extent of her legacy and the many songs she had recorded came as a big surprise. Further investigations soon led Hannah to producer Mark Gergis, compiler of Saigon Rock and Soul (2010, Sublime Frequencies), enlisting him to join her on a journey of discovery and recovery. The result is this essential document of Phuong Tam’s brief but prolific career, and at the same time, reuniting the long-lost music with its singer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the heart of this project is a family story – Hannah Hà’s dedication to recovering and sharing her mother’s musical legacy is helping put Phương Tâm back on center stage after 55 years. But it is also a story that adds critical context to the fragmented understanding of Vietnamese popular culture during the 20th century, particularly after so much has been lost to war and dislocation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e25 tracks spanning Phương Tâm’s recording career: early rock and roll, surf, twist, soul, blues and jazz ballads recorded in Saigon between 1964-1966, featuring electric guitars, contrabass, lush brass, saxophone, drums and organ, and rich backing vocal arrangements. Restored and remastered from original records and reel tapes. - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sublime-frequencies.bandcamp.com\/album\/magical-nights-saigon-surf-twist-soul-1964-1966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eon Bandcamp\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/06szfYCT8qEaxJZrqoZ12a?utm_source=generator\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table_1fWaB\" border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 83.5731%; height: 156.789px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 44.7969px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 13.6577%; height: 44.7969px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLabel:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 81.1241%; height: 44.7969px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003eSublime Frequencies\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– SF120,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSublime Frequencies\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e– SF120 LP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 13.6577%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 81.1241%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"format_item_3SAJn\"\u003e2 x\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eVinyl,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eLP, Compilation, Remastered\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 13.6577%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCountry:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 81.1241%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003eUS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 13.6577%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eReleased:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 81.1241%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003ctime datetime=\"2022\"\u003e2022\u003c\/time\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 13.6577%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 81.1241%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003eRock,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePop,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFolk, World, \u0026amp; Country\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 22.3984px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\" style=\"width: 13.6577%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStyle:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 81.1241%; height: 22.3984px; border-width: 1px;\"\u003eNhạc Vàng,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSurf,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTwist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sublime Frequencies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42478152548510,"sku":"843563151662","price":60.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0584\/5434\/3838\/products\/pt.jpg?v=1678180628","url":"https:\/\/theanalogvault.mom\/products\/phuong-tam","provider":"The Analog Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
