“Music Is History” focuses on the years 1971 to the present as Questlove finds the hidden connections in the American “tapes- try,” whether investigating how the blaxploitation era reshaped Black identity or considering the way disco took an assembly-line approach to Black genius, program organizers said.

“These critical inquiries are complemented by his own memories as a music fan, and the way his appetite for pop culture taught him about America,” the noted. “A history of the last half-century and an intimate conversation with one of music’s most influential and original voices, ‘Music Is History’ is a singular look at contemporary America.”
