When the Music Stopped

from Anthropology · host Sergiu Novac

What did Nicolae Ceausescu have in common with Romania's most famous radio DJ, Cornel Chiriac? In Episode 1 of 'Five Senses of Austerity' we explore this and how it relates to the invasion of Prague in 1968. This was a period before austerity, the so-called 'golden age' of Romanian socialism. And yet, it is a period in which austerity was already slowly creeping in, especially through the politics surrounding 'Western' rock music.
