Noise Uprising: A Radical New Reading of Recorded Music's Origins Between 1925 and the early 1930s, a cultural revolution unfolded in the soundscape of modern times. Hundreds of unknown musicians entered makeshift studios to record the melodies and rhythms of urban streets and dancehalls, leaving behind shellac disks that reverberated around the globe. These recordings - including Havana's son, Rio's samba, New Orleans' jazz, Buenos Aires' tango, Seville's flamenco, Cairo's tarab, Johannesburg's marabi, Jakarta's kroncong, and Honolulu's hula - triggered a battle over popular music and became the soundtrack to decolonization. This book brings to life the moment and sounds of this pivotal period in recorded music history. Michael Denning's Noise Uprising offers a fresh perspective on the origins of modern recorded music, shedding light on the obscure recording sessions that shaped the global musical landscape.
