Protest music is about highlighting problems in society and calling for change. And telling a story through music is an especially powerful way to move a listener to action. Check out some potent sonic storytelling about human rights, the environment and anti-colonialism from artists like Yothu Yindi, Hurray For The Riff Raff and Joni Mitchell.
Stuff to think about after you’ve listened:
Is there something you want to protest? What sounds would you use to communicate your protest?
What songs do you know that would support something you want to protest?
