Over dit evenement

A People’s History of Music (during times of authoritarianism) For twelve years Eric Isaacson has been travelling with presentations that are part slideshow, part lecture, part film screening. This new one tells the story of music scenes that kept going under authoritarian rule, from Ethiopia, North Korea and Kenya to the USA and beyond. It is about how those in power try to control music, and how people slip past them: through samizdat tapes, secret messages hidden in pop songs, and DIY scenes that connect communities under pressure. Along the way you’ll also see some unintentionally hilarious musical attempts by fascists and states, and hear about the uneasy relationship between New Age music and fascism. Expect archival film, sound clips and images, and a host with a humble, comic way of digging up buried treasures and the odd stories behind them. Eric draws on his own experience of the fascist creep, but there is very little grandstanding. Eric founded Mississippi Records in Portland, Oregon, and in twenty-three years has released over 390 records and 165 mixtapes of DIY music from around the world: punk, African guitar griots, Greek criminal underground music, deep country blues, gospel, spiritual jazz and more. For its first seventeen years the label had no website or social media and ran a cash only record shop, and it still sold over a million records. Cineville valid at the door and online on the day itself. Al twaalf jaar reist Eric Isaacson rond met presentaties die deels diavoorstelling, deels lezing en deels filmscreening zijn. In deze nieuwe editie vertelt hij het verhaal van muziekscènes die doorgingen onder autoritair bewind, van Ethiopië, Noord-Korea en Kenia tot de VS en verder. Het gaat over hoe de machthebbers muziek proberen te controleren, en hoe mensen daar omheen glippen: met samizdat-tapes, geheime boodschappen verstopt in popliedjes en DIY-scènes die gemeenschappen onder druk met elkaar verbinden. Onderweg zie je ook een aantal onbedoeld hi…
