THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 247: Does Music Have a Revolutionary Capacity w/ Jacqueline Lucqman

Music and political upheaval have a long intertwined history in the United States going back to the 19th century. From Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit '' to the protest music of the 60’s, music and art has been a defining feature of the counterculture. The soundtrack of rebellion against U.S imperialism, racism, sexism and more. But in this era of hyper capitalism, does music even possess a revolutionary capacity? Or is every counter cultural moment simply a branding exercise. We’ll ask these questions and more.   Jacqueline Luqman Jacqueline Luqman is co-host of By Any Means Necessary on Radio Sputnik, a daily show that analyzes current political and social events through an anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, radical Black internationalist tradition and lens.
