Ep. 12: Five Vietnamese New Wave Songs with Filmmaker Elizabeth Ai

Back in the mid-'80s, Vietnamese American teens bonded over a shared love of sports cars, spiked hair, and a style of electronic dance music they called New Wave (now known as Euro and Italo disco). Vietnamese New Wave is now the subject of a forthcoming documentary by filmmaker Elizabeth Ai, who discusses the fascinating history of this subculture through five songs she grew up with. Elizabeth's Selections: 1. Brother Louie - Modern Talking 2. Jump In My Car - CC Catch 3. You're a Woman - Bad Boys Blue 4. Say You'll Never - Lian Ross 5. I Like Chopin - Gazebo There's a lot more where that came from!
