Music as Politics, Politics in Music

Hi Everyone! 

I'm really enjoying reading your check-ins! 

Many of you, like myself, love music. 

Music is very political. It is used in political movements, campaigns, protests and more. Please check out this example of one of my favorite artists, Bob Marley. This clip is about Marley's role in a Peace Concert in Jamaica in 1978, and provides some of the political context to the show, as well as a very important political moment in history.
