On a mission to bring back the sound of Vietnamese rock and soul from the ’60s and ’70s, Saigon Soul Revival has created its own unique sound, powered by tight grooves and psychedelic textures. They fuse Vietnamese lyrics and music with influences from Western rock, soul, bolero, tango and other popular genres of this time period, most of which were banned after the war. Saigon Soul Revival has performed countless shows across Vietnam, including at major events such as Quest Festival, Vibe Nation and Mui Ne Music & Art Festivals, and has toured internationally, including concerts in the UK, Germany, France and Portugal. In 2024, the track Đám Cưới Nhà Em from their second studio album was featured in the HBO mini-series The Sympathizer, starring Robert Downey Jnr.
