'Urban' Music, Society and Religion: Connecting the Dots
Hallowed be thy Grime? : A musicological and sociological genealogy of Grime music and its relation to black Atlantic religious discourse’.
In the '90s, we had jungle, whereas now, Dizzy Rascal, Tinie Tempah,Tinchy Strider, Scorcher. Dot Rotten and other young Black musicians have infiltrated the Top Ten with what's called 'Grime' . What is Grime ? Is it still Black music? Do teenagers see any Black history in the beats? Is there any? How is Grime connected to religion and the concept of the African cultural transmission across the Atlantic over the last 500 years? Where's the Black history in Black British youth culture ?
This presentation by PhD candidate Monique Charles will explore ancient and modern music & its characteristics, the sociology of religion and how these are applied in the African diaspora to extrapolate religious meaning and emotion in a concert setting.
Saturday 15 June 7.30pm to 9.00pm. This event will start at 7.30pm, latecomers will miss out and may not get a seat
