Next month marks the 40th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Music played an important part in thewar. And to mark the anniversary of the end of the conflict, Ian Brenan, the British record producer has put together an album of music which defines the war in Vietnam. It features the work of classic Vietnamesemusicians who are prominent in the north. And Ian Brenan spoke to Julian Waurika about the project. I was approaching it with a new mind as much as I could. I’m not an expert, but I had a great interest inexploring the theme around the conflict in the war between American and Vietnam and how that might be reflected in music. Some of the individuals involved were actually part of the war meaning they were in the military. One of them chose to be a musician to console the other troops. In doing that he was actually at greater risk to be harmed himself because he was unarmed the most of the time. And his job was to go to thefrontlines and to play music in between battles for people. So there’s a greater risk of being shot by snipers.In performing again forty years on, some people were effectively doing something they had not done for many decades, is that right?By their report, it is something they had not done literally taking out instruments and dusting them off and singing in front of family members for the first time that the family members could ever recollect. Andthere’s a lot of very palpable emotion around some of their performances, particularly a mother performing with her daughter who is the music director for the entire project. And by the time they were done, everyone in the room, I think, was in tears literally. It sounds like a cliché, but it was a very powerful… It’s an epic song. And that process of revelation was so strong because the daughter and her husband and the other few people in the room were witnessing something for the first time. I wanted to ask you about some of the ancient instruments that people performed or used in some of these performances.I think there is a lot of misconceptions about other cultures obviously, you know, cross-culturally. I think in general, there’s a bias that’s pretty perverse of the west towards the east. And I think that runsdeeply in America. And musically I think there is a tendency—I’m not saying it’s overwhelming tendency—but it’s a trend of many people in the west to dismiss Asian music.
