How the world changed music
Discover how social, economic and cultural forces have helped to shape modern music.
Where do musical ideas come from? What else, aside from imagination, shapes the way music evolves? Simon Zagorski-Thomas and guests investigate the ways in which social, economic and cultural forces have affected musical traditions around the world.
Tracks and artists discussed include the Bollywood hit, Wada Na Tod, sung by the legendary Indian singer Lata Mangheskar; Yembe Laroco by the Queen of Salsa, Celia Cruz and the unusual Japanese pop hit from the 1970s, Haisai Ojisan, written and performed by rocker and activist Shoukichi Kina.
