Exploring the concept of "infectious rhythm," the narrative traces the vibrant energy of Brazilian carnival percussion to the stark imagery of police violence in Los Angeles. It delves into the duality of contagion, celebrating the global influence of African culture while simultaneously highlighting the harsh realities of its suppression. Through this lens, the author examines the complex interplay between cultural expression and systemic oppression.
