Today’s episode features Benjamin Faye and is a celebration of black history in music.

Benji shares his musical expertise and breaks down a timeline of music history from the blues right through to hip-hop and its resulting influences on modern music.

You'll hear all about how modern music as we know it today has been shaped and molded by the blues, and that the majority of popular styles of music have come from the creativity and innovation of black people.

As there is such a plethora of artists and music referenced in this episode, I have taken the time to compile an accompanying Spotify playlist meant to be enjoyed in tandem with the episode.
