Redefining dance music, getting paid and Aluna Francis

No Country For Young Women
Contains some strong language and adult humour.

Available for over a year

Should we recategorise dance music to be more racially inclusive? How did it become disconnected from its black queer origins? And why are black and women of colour consistently underpaid in music? Aluna Francis joins us to talk about her open letter to the dance music industry, being a member of the Black Music Action Coalition and getting paid what you’re worth.
