Beats of the Heart: Popular Music of the World

Based on the acclaimed television documentary series, Beats of the Heart is an illuminating journey through the global landscape of popular music—from reggae in Jamaica to Afrobeat in Nigeria, from Latin American rhythms to Asian pop. Marre and Charlton combine journalistic storytelling with cultural analysis, showcasing how music expresses identity, struggle, and resistance. The Washington Post called it “a dynamic and colorful survey of musical voices rarely heard in the West.”
