Mai Khôi & the Dissidents makes their West Virginia debut at 123 Pleasant Street, celebrating the release of their new album “Five Years in Exile.” The album follows Khôi through her first five years in the United States, where she fled to in 2019 to avoid political persecution in Vietnam. Unlike her previous album “Dissent,” recorded in secret in Vietnam and dedicated exclusively to protest music, “Five Years in Exile” is more personal and introspective. Protest music sits alongside songs that deal with love, nostalgia, loneliness, and grief. The songs, co-written with keyboardist Mark Micchelli, deftly weave through genres as diverse as jazz, experimental music, math rock, art song, and even a bit of the pop and dance music Khôi used to sing in Vietnam.
