Timothy Brennan
Popular music in the Americas, from jazz, Cuban Latin and salsa to disco and rap, is overwhelmingly neo-African. This book shows how the popular music of the Americas is involved in a devotion to an African religious worldview that survived the ravages of slavery and found its way into the rituals of everyday listening.
