I hear music in the streets: New York 1969-1989

Abstract

"I Hear Music in the Streets is a book that captures the energy and diversity of the New York music scene between 1969 and 1989. More than a tribute, it is a historical document of an unforgettable era in the city's music, offering an in-depth look at a cultural movement still relatively unknown in Spain. We are proud to feature a foreword by Tim Lawrence, a renowned author and Professor of Cultural Studies at the University of East London. The work is structured in eight thematic chapters, each dedicated to the communities, movements, and spaces that shaped the musical landscape of New York...The book brings together the work of extraordinary photographers, such as Arlene Gottfried, Peter Hujar, Stephen Shames, Bruce Davidson, Susan Meiselas and Joseph Rodriguez, along with more than 60 visual artists who captured the essence of this unique era"-- From the publisher.
