Description

From London told by Blur at the height of Brit Pop, to evenings in Lagos punctuated by Afro beats, and the underground sound of Seattle shaped by Sub Pop. The pages of this book map an atlas of musical cities, from Rio de Janeiro to Seoul, that have made a notable and significant contribution, and bring them to life through the stories of their most important experiences.
