| Summary: | This is a story of empire, colonialism and then the new energies released by the movements for freedom and independence of the post Second World War years, of the movements of peoples across borders, of the flow of music around the triangle that takes in Africa, the Caribbean, the United States and Great Britain, of temporary but highly influential visitors like Paul Robeson and of the settlement of ex-colonial peoples who brought their music to Britain, and changed its forms and concerns in the new context. Le Gendre brings together both a sense of historical purpose and the ability to actually describe music in vivid and meaningful ways. |
