The story of house musicβs black roots
BeyoncΓ©, Drake and the origins of house music in Chicagoβs black communities.
With BeyoncΓ© and Drakeβs new house tracks dominating the dance charts, we check out the origins of the genre and how it started in the black LGBTQ community. LynnΓ©e Denise, a DJ and dance music expert, tells De-Graft about the history of house, and ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 1 and 1Xtra presenter DJ Jeremiah Asiamah explains why itβs not just βoontzβ music.
We also talk to Katouche and Hannah, who are both disabled, about their experience at Wireless Festival β they say access was βterribleβ.
And following the racist abuse of Lewis Hamilton, we hear from Corey Alleyne, an up-and-coming racing driver, about being black in one of the least ethnically-diverse sports, motor racing.
