Flashback - UK Black Music

FLASHBACK shows the development of black music in the UK from the early days of post war Britain, through cultural and political evolution to our present day multicultural society.

The influx of foreign cultures greatly influenced and reshaped music, art and culture in the UK. The movement of British black bands, clubs, pirate radio stations and a mass of black artists on TV, especially in the 1980s, included genres such as jazz, calypso, reggae, 2tone, British soul, lovers rock, Brit funk, dubstep, drum and bass, UK Garage, Hip-Hop and house music, all with their very own UK fl avour.

In FLASHBACK we not only highlight the London scene, but many areas of Britain where other music scenes, musicians and artists were producing and creating their own unique identities.This App will allow UK Black Music fans worldwide to dig deeper and immerse themselves in the facts and legends like never before, and allow their legacies to be understood and appreciated like never before.
