La Nouvelle-Orléans, avant-poste de l’Empire français
▻https://laviedesidees.fr/Cecile-Vidal-Caribbean-New-Orleans.html

En écrivant une #Histoire sociale totale de la Nouvelle-Orléans du XVIIIe siècle, Cécile Vidal propose de la recadrer comme un avant-poste caribéen de l’Empire français plutôt que comme une ville frontière nord-américaine.

The sound system, or Picó culture of the #Caribbean coast of Colombia is very close to my heart. Not only is there a strong relationship between it and the popular #MUSIC of 1970’s and 80’s West and Central Africa, but the propensity towards innovation via digital production (something that I’m near obsessed with as a DJ) is […]
