Much more likable than the original singer's performance, I must say. His plosives are still aspirated, which is cute.

"Live" performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfucUUWjGVM
Oh gosh I get so much laugh out of this.

Wow, I'm really envious, his pronunciation is really good! And I loved the comments, especially: "this is good, you good whiteboi <3"

[Tenebrarum]

Turns out you can always find more than one of those whitebois

I don't know how but I somehow ended up stumbling onto some Vietnamese folk music on youtube, and I absolutely love it! I'll share some of my favourites here:

Tình mẹ - Thuỳ Chi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63APUDw4Mck

Lãng Du - Tình Yêu
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2btARWo0vxU

Khánh Ly - Xin cho tôi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNOxsSpYWGU

If anyone has any other recommendations in this genre or from this era I would love to hear them!
Also, I have a question, are any of these songs the sort of thing you could find at karaoke in Vietnam?

Most are in English, but the composer is Vietnamese so...yeah! Anyway I like how he at least writes his own songs and composes the melody.

HEY I stumbled upon this . Really Vietnamese.
Indeed, that's the name of the song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAYsfzQz1Qs

The clip also consists of typical images of Vietnam, particularly the Northern region.

~ "Tiếng Việt gọi trong hoàng hôn khói sẫm
Cánh đồng xa cò trắng rủ nhau về
Có con nghé trên lưng bùn ướt đẫm
Nghe xạc xào gió thổi giữa cau tre.

...

Chưa chữ viết đã vẹn tròn tiếng nói
Vầng trăng cao đêm cá lặn sao mờ
Ôi tiếng Việt như đất cày, như lụa
Óng tre ngà và mềm mại như tơ."

And the lyrics is very poetic.

60s and 70s Vietnamese music.
