The paradoxical nature of the Fifties and Sixties was evident in the cultural arena.
There were amplifications of every growing pain humanity had ever experienced, more prominent than ever in the arts. There was heartache, rebellion in the emergence of sexuality, blues soaring from the ashes of racism and separation. All of this was captured so beautifully and joyfully through music. One of the most prominent musical errors of our time.
And even though we progressed technologically, we managed to interpret our sense of connection to these errors in our own way. And honoured are those various connections though ye ol’ faithful remix.
Thank all that is goodness for technology and the many ways we connect through good music.
Ft. Guestmix from someone epic whose earlier productions were born from a deep interest in 50’s and 60’s music and musings.
