Global Hip Hop

Music Industry, Cultural Diversity, Social Change

By Marie-Agnès Beau

UC Riverside California – February 13

4-6 pm Humanities 1500

Open to the public

At a time when the record industry model that brought hip hop its commercial success and its bad image is collapsing, hip hop is finally finding its true social value around the world, thanks to globalization and technology.

After 25 years working in various roles in the record industry, Marie-Agnès ‘mab’ Beau now promotes Global Hip Hop as an educational and social cohesion tool. She will discuss her professional experience and the parallel evolution of hip hop and the music industry worldwide.

Global Professions, Global Action is a Lecture series for students sponsored by the Program in Global Studies at UC Riverside. This event is also sponsored by the Departments of Music and Media and Cultural Studies.
