Description of  Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres [Audiobook]

English | ASIN: B08VQP2BDT | 2021 |MP3|M4B | ~18:59:00 | 538 MB Kelefa Sanneh (Author, Narrator), "Major Labels: A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres" An epic achievement and a huge delight, the entire history of popular music over the past 50 years refracted through the big genres that have defined and dominated it: rock, R&B, country, punk, hip-hop, dance music, and pop. Kelefa Sanneh, one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture, has made a deep study of how popular music unites and divides us, charting the way genres become communities, shape-shifting across the years, giving us a way to track larger forces and controversies. In Major Labels, Sanneh distills a career's worth of knowledge about music and musicians into a brilliant and omnivorous reckoning with popular music - as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities.
