youtube discovery!
Why hello!
The otherday our group was working on a large portion of our ensemble which shows the transformation from slavery to gospel to hip hop music which slowly became more and more commercialised. it was my job to try and script the gospel scene and i have been looking on youtube at gospel music and documentary thins and it has been really insightful. ‘oh happy days’ was one of the first, if not the first commercialised gospel song sung by the edwin hawkin singers. initially it was banned from churches and even homes because it was to ‘wordly’ but no days younger generations consider it traditional music. im still tossing a few ideas around but i have an idea of how to make the scene work and begin to show the commercialistaion of gospel/ hip hop music.
anyways im off to eat nachos!!…mmmm nachos!
