Join Dr. Gustavo Souza Marques (Gusmão), Assistant Professor of Musicology, for a talk at the Ann Arbor District Library on his recently released book, Tyler, The Creator’s Hip Hop Revolution: Transmedia Journeys Beyond Gangsta, published in Bloomsbury’s New Approaches to Sound, Music and Media series.

Focusing on Tyler – one of the most inventive artists in the history of hip hop – the book approaches his musical work through the lenses of history, identity and audio-visual analysis.

This talk is part of the Society for American Music’s Sounding the Nation series, a national project covering the history of American music.

This event includes a signing with books for sale.
