Can the subaltern rock?
Shakira’s Oral Fixations from Colombia, Tatu’s Dangerous and Moving from Russia. In the past six months alone, we have two examples of artists from the semiperiphary selling soft-rock back to the metropole. Is this merely coincidence? Or is a materialist explanation required?
(Which reminds me that while we were hanging around the other day in the CS office swapping Spivak gossip, I forgot to mention this fine story of craziness)
and what’s the current Spivak gossip…?
