Why shared music transforms us

from Tell it Proud · host Christina BLacken

Today's podcast episode is focused on the ethical principles of community, and is a reading from an essay I originally wrote for The New Quo Learning Community where I curate overlooked ethical and cultural wisdom straight to the inboxes of members who are passionate about finding new insight and inspiration to practice their social justice values.  This essay is titled "Why shared music transforms us" and covers research and my personal experiences of music as a magical source of community building, and discusses some of the long standing practices across cultures of community-building through music, including descriptions and samples of music from indigenous powwows, West African drum circles, Brazilian carnival, Indian classical music, and Irish folklore music sessions.  If you'd like to further support this podcast and connect with other like minded people join The New Quo Learning Community.
