HIS-3210: History of African American Music and Culture in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has been one of the most important and prolific centers of black music in the United States. Yet, its contribution has been under-appreciated and in some cases unknown. This class considers the evolution of secular black music and culture in Los Angeles from the turn of the century to the present. Key topics include jazz on Central Avenue, R&B, Horace Tapscott and the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, the mid-1960s Watts sene, Hip-Hop/Rap, and the Leimert Park cultural scene. Topics are studied through readings, music, videos, and occasional guest scholars and artists.
