Sobre l'esdeveniment
Join us for a special evening with Lloyd Bradley, acclaimed music journalist and cultural historian, as he discusses his seminal book Funk: Is Its Own Reward, one of the most definitive explorations of funk music and its enduring cultural impact.
This event forms part of The Long Play Sessions, a curated series hosted by ICMP celebrating influential writers who have shaped how we understand music, culture and history. Each session brings books to life through live conversation, context and deep creative insight.
In Funk: It's Its Own Reward, Bradley traces the evolution of funk from its roots in soul, jazz and gospel to its explosive influence on hip hop, electronic music and contemporary pop. More than a genre study, the book examines funk as a philosophy - a sound rooted in liberation, identity, resistance and collective joy.
