Klappentext In a handful of years between the development of electrical recording in 1925 and the outset of the Great Depression in the early 1930s! the soundscape of modern music unfolded in a series of relatively unnoticed recording sessions around the world. These included the recording of tango in Buenos Aires! son in Havana! and samba in Rio; of hula in Honolulu! shidaiqu in Shanghai! and kroncong in Jakarta; and of taraab in East Africa and marabi in Johannesburg. In this ground breaking study! Michael Denning draws a global map of a musical revolution that had more profound consequences than the "modern" musics of the European avant-garde.
