About this Song
Rock and roll’s long history as a mutable, boundary-crossing form forged in the United States opens up space for every kind of creative reimagining of the genre’s core, a tradition that stretches back to the first moments that Black blues artists, white country pickers, and Latinx boogie-woogie pianists collided in mid-20th century American cities to create something entirely new from the overlapping threads of their respective cultural traditions. The United States’ identity as a nation of immigrants has always shaped its most beloved popular music, and rock and roll, more than almost any other genre born on American soil, carries that hybridity in its DNA, welcoming new voices that bring their own lived experiences, linguistic frameworks, and cultural reference points to update the form for successive generations of listeners.
