Discovering my mother was a Vietnamese rock'n'roll star
A chance email led Hannah Ha to uncover her mother Tam’s forgotten musical legacy.
Hannah knew her mother could sing. When she took the stage at karaoke, she always stole the show. But when a chance email revealed she had once been a recording artist called Phuong Tam in 1960s Saigon, she was stunned. Hannah embarked on a two-year hunt to track down her mother’s long-lost recordings – and her rock 'n' roll legacy.
