The music of and about the Vietnam War was heard in a variety of places: the radio, protest rallies, and in Vietnam where American fighting men accessed music--some of it their own version of protest songs--through the records they brought along and the via bands hired to entertain them. Songs of the Vietnam War is a combination of musical genres, featuring lecture and live performance along with the playing of a few 45s.
The intense emotions created by the war expressed itself in the music of that era and that is what the History Singers present, hoping to bring healing and closure for fighting men, and bring that period to life for those too young to remember it. You can learn more about The History Singers on their website.
