Music is Our Ting

an intimate vinyl listening experience showcasing the profound impact of Black people on music and the sounds that have shaped generations. Music Is Our Ting A Black History Month CelebrationPresented by TABOM at Solt Room, Hackney Music is more than sound. It is history, identity, resistance, expression and connection. This Black History Month, TABOM presents Music Is Our Ting an intimate vinyl listening experience celebrating the profound influence of Black people on music and the sounds that have shaped generations. From jazz, blues and soul to reggae, funk, disco, hiphop, house, Afrobeats and beyond, Black creativity has been at the heart of some of the world’s most influential musical movements. Behind these genres are stories of innovation, struggle, migration, resilience and cultural exchange. Through a carefully curated selection of vinyl records, we’ll take you on a musical journey across continents and generations, exploring the pioneers, legends and communities who created these sounds, the stories behind the records, and how their influence continues to shape the music we listen to today. Hosted by Juls, the session will also offer personal reflections on his own musical journey, the influences that have shaped his sound, and the importance of preserving and celebrating our musical heritage. This isn’t just about listening to music. It’s about understanding where it comes from, honouring those who came before us, and recognising the incredible contribution Black culture has made to the world. Expect beautiful records, meaningful stories, musical discoveries and an intimate space to connect through sound. Because music isn’t just something we make. It’s who we are.
