Black Consciousness on Over the Edge of the Pop Narcotic
A political and intellectual movement that has roots in the early 1970’s South African anti-apartheid movement (think Biko), and American hard bop jazz, funk and soul, black consciousness is pervasive in the world’s pop musics. I’m taking on the daunting task of trying to play some of the music that has connections in black consciousness tonight. Not going to have too much say. The music talks well enough for itself. Enjoy DJottoJD.
