World Tour: South Africa

south africa

Lior Phillips' recent book on South African music covers the effect of apartheid on musical creativity and how rhythm can unite across many structures that divide them. She also covers the appropriation of South African music and the positive and negative effects of that phenomenon.

Dear Listeners,

For more than 15 years, Sound Opinions was a production of WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station. Now that the show is independent, we're inviting you to join the band and lend a hand! We need your support more than ever because now we have to do all the behind-the-scenes work that WBEZ handled before (like buying insurance and paying for podcast hosting, ugh). Plus, we have some exciting ideas we'd like to try now that there's no one to tell us no!
