Communist Rock and Roll

at Café.Bar.Contemporary

09 Apr 2010

How did the Western devil’s music filter through to the Soviet sphere of influence, and how did it express popular sentiment - despite strict censorship? Our three speakers will talk – and play - you through rock music under communism, from the 60s through to the 80s. Wayne Burrows will be sharing his treasured Polish music collection, Polly McMichael goes Back to the USSR, while Robert Adlington explores the very different Cuban legacy. Enjoy a special Polish menu – and a collection of fine vodkas – while taking a musical journey through the former Soviet sphere of influence in the special surroundings of our café.
