Video

Writer and activist Seren Sensei on CNN, 2018.

Seren Sensei accused Bruno Mars of cultural appropriation, that is profiting off of traditionally black music, while not being an African American himself (he's from the Philippines and Puerto Rico). In this report on CNN, the presenter and her three guests discuss the relevance of that accusation in particular and of the debate as a whole.

Video

Keith Richards Inducts Chuck Berry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1986.

Keith Richards is the lead guitarist of British band the Rolling Stones. While always acknowledging his influences in African American music, he also contributed to forgotten bluesmen (such as Willie Dixon or Howlin' Wolf) being rediscovered in America and finally getting the recognition and commercial success they deserved. In 1986, he was asked to induct, that is to introduce, Chuck Berry to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an honorary institution that recognizes the most influential artists on the development of rock and roll.
