Music Is History

Music Is History

Description:
Music Is History combines Questloveâs deep musical expertise with his curiosity about history, examining America over the past fifty years.
Â
Focusing on the years 1971 to the present, Questlove finds the hidden connections in the American tapes- try, whether investigating how the blaxploitation era reshaped Black identity or considering the way disco took an assembly-line approach to Black genius. And these critical inquiries are complemented by his own memories as a music fan, and the way his appetite for pop culture taught him about America.
Â
A history of the last half-century and an intimate conversation with one of musicâs most influential and original voices, Music Is History is a singular look at contemporary America.
