SOUND SYSTEM OUTERNATIONAL: Sonic Entanglements: Jamaica, Europe and Brazil 

Originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, the vibes of sound system culture resonate nowadays on an international scale, scattered across a diasporic network of hand-crafted technologies and radical sonic practices. The symposium aims to contribute to the understanding of sound system as global cultural phenomenon, with researchers, journalists, soundmen and sound women from Brazil, Italy and across the UK. The day will focus on historical and social features, performance techniques, the distinctive technological apparatus and the different music styles that make the global sound system culture.
