Rhythm, Bass and Place: Connections and Reflections on Music of the African Diaspora:
This event and exhibition are part of our Rhythm, Bass and Place series, a 5-month celebration of Black music that traces its migratory nature and constructs a living archive through engaging stories from neighborhoods, stages, studios and dance floors that shaped the sonic landscape in select U.S., U.K. and Caribbean cities over the last three decades.
