From 99% Invisible: Wickedest Sound

Revisionist History - En podcast af Pushkin Industries - Torsdage

This week, we're sharing an episode from 99% Invisible about the history of music in Jamaica, where Malcolm's mother is from. Jamaica is famous for its music, including genres like ska, dub, and reggae. It’s tempting to think that the powerful amplifiers and giant speakers at dance parties were designed to perfectly capture Jamaica’s indigenous sounds. But it’s actually the other way around... those speakers and amps came first. So how did technology play a role in the creation of Jamaica’s modern music? 99% Invisible will tell you.
