Ampersand Mixtape 4: It wasn’t roaring

This mixtape is so subversive it should come in a brown paper bag. Art and especially music often unsettle reactionary regimes, elites and establishments.

For this mixtape Charles Leonard has picked his favourite subversive songs from around the globe and tells their fascinating and often curious stories. 

It includes an infamous drinking song.
