NTS selects an hour of Vietnamese Bolero records – baring little relation to its Argentinian namesake, Vietnamese Bolero is a nebulous descriptor, broadly covering the slow, emotional ballads most popular in the country from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s. The music is ubiquitous in Vietnam still, a staple of weddings, and regularly heard playing from local cafes, bars, taxis, and private homes.
