<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><b>LECTURE DESCRIPTION:</b> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none">Kajikawa’s lecture will focus on the world of hip-hop music before “Rapper’s Delight”, the multi-platinum single that propelled The Sugarhill Gang – and rap music – into the national spotlight late in 1979.
Drawing on various oral histories, autobiographies, and pre-1979 bootleg recordings, Kajikawa will discuss the work of pioneering DJs and MCs with the goal of demonstrating how formal analysis and questions related to historical performance practice can serve
to generate new knowledge in popular music research. These early recordings are especially notable for their musical spontaneity – one that distinguishes them from later studio-produced rap music. </p>
