Tune in for my last show this Friday!
I'm going to have a VERY, VERY special edition this Friday on songs by revolutionaries.
Often times, we forget the cultural and sociopolitical power in songs yet we have learned from the past how much music has played a crucial role in social progress. So, this Friday, I will talk about the stories and meanings behind some powerful songs. And I don't doubt you know the music of these leaders... Fela Kuti, Victor Jara, Nancy Dupree, and so much more.
These messages need to be heard. I hope you are inclined to tune in and share with your friends =)
It's been a true pleasure hosting Mass Ave Post on The BIRN. I hope you'll have me back in the fall semester!
Best,
Menchie
