The 1960s and early 1970s was a time of social change and a new form of racial emancipation. Music was a very powerful tool during that time, and many artists have written what could be understood today as the soundtrack of that era. The motto of tonight’s show is „Power to the People“, and your host DJ Pari will play a carefully picked selection of Soul Music from the Black Power Era, which we define as the era from 1967 until 1974. It is the era following Malcolm’s and MLK’s early Civil Rights movement, the era of Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Angela Davis and the Black Panthers.
We’ll be playing music with messages of social awareness and which conveys the struggle for equality and eventually, Freedom. The music will be so good that you’ll feel empowered after the show, no matter what race you are.
Großartige Show mit James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, Ike Turner & The Kings, Marvin Gaye, Leroy Hutson, Roy Ayers…
