A Brief History of Music

Zoe YING

Exploring the evolution of western popular music, and the social, cultural and technological contexts it exists within. this podcast aims to study and examine an oft-ignored but very prevalent aspect of music history: popular music. While degraded as ‘low art’, popular music, by definition, passes the test of common approval and thus is a powerful tool for understanding the characteristics of a particular society at a particular time. Join me as I dive into four of the most predominant genres of the 20th century - jazz, blues, rock, and hip-hop - and analyse what their successes mean to us.
