Ongoing History of Protest Music Podcast Episode 12: Whitewashing (with Louis Rive)

This episode features special guest Louis Rive, a singer-songwriter from Glasgow Scotland who has composed several protest tunes. We specifically discuss three of the songs that he wrote (“Business as Usual,” “Whitewashing” and “Where Do We Go From Here”) and the motivation behind them. We also discuss how the content of his music took a shift with the current political climate and why he feels it is important for artists to use their platform to speak out on issues.
