Nhạc đỏ

Nhạc đỏ or literally Red Music is the common name of the revolutionary music (nhạc cách mạng) genre in Vietnam.[1] Red Music was formed during the communist Việt Minh and the First Indochina War and later strongly promoted across communist North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, to urge Northerners to achieve reunification under the Workers' Party of North Vietnam and fight against the "American imperialist puppet"[citation needed] in South Vietnam.Other forms of non-traditional, non-revolutionary music and culture in the North, like Vietnamese popular music and Western music and culture, were banned, being labelled as "counter-revolutionary", "bourgeois", or "capitalist".[citation needed] One of the earliest composers of revolutionary songs was Đinh Nhu (1910–1945).the young "Hoàng tử nhạc đỏ" (Prince of Red Music).
