Event overview
“Surf Music” and the California Surfing Boom'
Presented by the Unit for Music and Ethnographic Film, Tim Cooley gives a talk on “Surf Music” and the California Surfing Boom'.
---------------------------------------------
By the 1950s, the cultural and commercial centre of surfing was shifting from Hawai'i to California. The Californian and global surfing boom was marked musically with the emergence in Southern California of the names genre Surf Music, including instrumental (Dick Dale, et al) and vocal subgenres (The Beach Boys). This presentation looks critically and analytically at both sub genres.
Tim Cooley is a professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he teaches courses on Polish and North American vernacular and popular musics.
