BBC News - Artists call for greater focus on black British music in schools
Richard Carter, who won the Rising Star award, agrees with the need for a curriculum update, and says it would have had an impact on him.
"I think I’d be more in touch with the black British music that we have now.
"The way I found it was just through going online, word of mouth, but it would be cool if that stuff was taught as opposed to just teaching me about Mozart and Bach.
"Chuck in Skepta, chuck in Jme – you need to learn about grime because you need to understand the roots. If you don’t know the roots, you’re not going to grow."
This ‘Talk to Me’ Scene Sums up What Makes the Movie So Great
The use of music is key here as well. The song “Amen” by Mitosan is perfectly selected, as it combines something reminiscent of a carnival with that of more classical music. The scene feels more like you’re on a ride than simply watching a scene, so the circus tones feel appropriate, whereas the more traditional elements give everything a dreamy quality. There’s some modern rap going on, but Mia also sings something that sounds old-timey in another language over the light and airy melody, which demonstrates older spirits from another plane mingling with these present-day teenagers and their music taste.
