Description - Soul Music by Candace Allen
Why were both the Beatles and classical music so troubling to black people? Are identity and music still the same? Has there been an
Obama-like breaking down of culture barriers? In Soul Music former black activist Candace Allen investigates whether the pitched battles between ‘our’ music and ‘their’ music of her youth are alive among young people engaged in music study. Following the
beat of classical music in her own life to places where different cultures meet, she visits Palestine, Venezuela, Scotland, the streets of London and Kinshasa. Is the tribal multiculturalism of the past stifling the new generation? Should 20th-century cultural warriors stop hampering progress, so that boundaries will be crossed?
