Notes
Track 11 of 1942 (3:18): the singer imagines Little Saigon — its shops, music, language and cafés — as the place where he belongs; partly sung in French. "Boat People" (2) and "Lam Thi Dep" (5) are also in the archive; the rest of the album is about the Japanese American internment of 1942. [From the Bandcamp lyrics]
