sps.columbia.edu/events/religion-and-history-black-music-professor-josef-sorett

This six-part series runs in coordination with two Columbia Summer Session courses – Gospel Music in Modern America (Session A) and Religion and the History of Hip Hop (Session B) – and will bring together scholars, musicians, media workers and fans for a discussion of the evolving role of religion in shaping the history of black music.

Part I focuses around the play between sacred and secular in gospel music, from the advent of modern gospel during the Great Migration era through the rise of Contemporary Gospel Music up through the early years of the 21st century.

Part II follows the history of Hip Hop music from the 1970s to the present, examining the range of religious idea and practices that have animated the performance, production, reception and consumption of rap music. Each Wednesday will be organized around a selection of (3) songs that guests will discuss as a means for thinking about the play between religion and music during a specific moment in time.
