Rhythm & soul basics /vol.4 : r'n'b & nu soul

Description

After exploring the history of rap through 125 tracks, the Basics collection revisits 50 years of African American music, from Louis Jordan to Frank Ocean, including Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Parliament, and Usher. On the menu, 130 tracks spread over 12 vinyl records (or 4 double CDs) tracing the fabulous saga of black music on American soil, between blues, soul, funk, disco, new jack swing, and modern r'n'b. Selected by an expert - Thomas Blondeau, a specialist in the genre, journalist at Les Inrockuptibles, Libération, and Le Monde Diplomatique - this thick compilation revisits the history of a major genre: from Ray Charles to Jodeci, it makes palpable the musical, technological, and societal evolutions that have accompanied the African American community over 50 years. From cotton fields to concrete towers, Basics navigates between the underground and the mainstream, between superstar Stevie Wonder and the lesser-known Prophets & His Disciples, tracing in 4 volumes the history of a musical genre imported from Africa in the hold to now dominate the top of the music charts worldwide. Each track benefits from a commentary that sheds light on its recording, inspiration, impact, or influence, placing each song in a historical, social, or musical context. Basics is a hefty tome of music history, a unique opportunity to dive back into its classics, to (re)discover unstoppable hits and hidden gems. A unique collection in its kind, a total immersion in an essential genre.
