Interrogating Popular Music and the City, Hardback Book

Hardback

Description

How does popular music influence the culture and reputation of a city, and what does a city do to popular music?

Interrogating Popular Music and the City examines the ways in which urban environments and music cultures intersect in various locales around the globe.

Music and cities have been partners in an often clumsy, sometimes accidental but always exciting dance.

Heritage and immigration, noise and art, policy and politics are some of the topics that are addressed in this critical examination of relationships between cities and music.

The book draws upon an international array of researchers, encompassing hip hop in Beijing; the city favelas of Brazil; from Melbourne bars to European parliaments; to heritage and tourism debates in Salzburg and Manchester.

In doing so, it interrogates the different agendas of audiences, musicians and policy-makers in distinct urban settings.
