Book Clubbing #1: Generación hip-hop : de la guerra de pandillas y el grafiti al gangsta rap (Jeff Chang)

There is as much music as ways to live it. Return to Book Clubbing, the reading club of La Capsa, where songs, albums, concerts, tours, and festivals, besides being listened to, are also read. During eight sessions, corresponding to the reading of eight different books, we will attempt to compose a general view of the various ways there are to write about music. From autobiographies to oral history narratives, passing through essays or criticism. GENERACIÓN HIP-HOP: DE LA GUERRA DE PANDILLAS I EL GRAFITI AL GANGSTA RAP (JEFF CHANG) Based on hundreds of interviews and more than ten years of research, Jeff Chang offers us an exhaustive musical and cultural history of hip-hop, from its roots in Jamaican sound systems, passing through gang wars and street parties in the black ghettos of New York, to its positioning as one of the most influential sounds of the current mainstream. This third edition of Book Clubbing has been designed and will be guided by Eva Sebastián. Born in Sants, she studied Audiovisual Communication at the UPF. She achieved the Blog Europa grant, which took her to work at Quan arribin els marcians of TV3. She continued her career with digital content at Vice, Playground and Indiespot, and currently combines jobs in different media such as El Nacional, Mondo Sonoro, El Confidencial, Acero, Código Nuevo, Buzzfeed, Playz and Revers. If you look for her, you will surely find her at some live music event, from self-managed venues to the last festival. We don't think of a better guide on this reading path :-) REGISTRATIONS AND BOOK COLLECTION Registrations are free and will remain open throughout the course (you do not need to attend the whole course, you can sign up for the books that suit you best).
