A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF MUSIC (during times of authoritarianism)

A visual and sonic presentation by Eric Isaacson (Mississippi Records)

A slideshow / lecture / film presentation from Mississippi Records founder Eric Isaacson telling a

story of global music scenes that struggled and endeavoured during periods of authoritarianism.

This is a timely and compelling interweaving of people and places, of past and present, of

making and sharing music in very troubling times. It's the story of how the powerful interests try

to control music and how people fight back, nimbly evading systemic repressions by puritans,

corporations and tech lords alike.

Making wide, bold swings, this show, covers music from Ethiopia, North Korea,Kenya, the USA

and beyond, while drawing on Eric’s colorfully described, personal experiences of the fascist

creep.

Presented by Crushing Death & Grief.
