Sounds like London. 100 years os black music inthe capital

Novo, no sentido de sem uso de leitura. Leve amarelamento no corte das folhas. Em estoque. Em inglês. For as long as people have been migrating to London, so has their music. An essential link to home, music also has the power to shape communities in surprising ways. Black music has been part of Londons landscape since the First World War, when the Southern Syncopated Orchestra brought jazz to the capital. Following the wave of Commonwealth immigration, its sounds and styles took up residence to become the foundation of the citys youth culture. Sounds Like London tells the story of the music and the larger-than-life characters making it, journeying from Soho jazz clubs to Finsbury Park blues dances to Kings Cross warehouse raves to the nations pop charts, and how sound system culture redefined British youth culture. As well as a journey through a musical history of London, Sounds Like London is about the shaping of a city, and in turn the whole nation, though immigration. Contributors include Eddy Grant, Osibisa, Russell Henderson, Dizzee Rascal and Trevor Nelson.
