40 ár síðani risastóru Live Aid konsertirnar 13. juli 1985

Description

On July 13, 1985, two massive concerts were held on the same day - one at Wembley Stadium in London, the other at John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia - with the aim of raising funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. In this radio segment, musicologist Knút Háberg Eysturstein discusses the origins and cultural significance of Live Aid, the musical lineup, and the legacy of songs like “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” and “We Are the World.” He also reflects on critical perspectives, including the politics of humanitarian aid and questions of representation.
