In his iconic musical travelogue Heavy Metal Islam, Mark LeVine
first brought the views and experiences of a still-young generation
to the world. In We'll Play till We Die, he joins with this
generation's leading voices to write a definitive history of the
era, closing with a cowritten epilogue that explores the meanings
and futures of youth music from North Africa to Southeast Asia.
We'll Play till We Die dives into the revolutionary music cultures
of the Middle East and larger Muslim world before, during, and
beyond the waves of resistance that shook the region from Morocco
to Pakistan. This sequel to Mark LeVine's celebrated Heavy Metal
Islam shows how some of the world's most extreme music not only
helped inspire and define region-wide protests, but also
exemplifies the beauty and diversity of youth cultures throughout
the Muslim world. Two years after Heavy Metal Islam was published
in 2008, uprisings and revolutions spread like wildfire. The young
people organizing and protesting on the streets-in dozens of cities
from Casablanca to Karachi-included the very musicians and fans
LeVine spotlighted in that book. We'll Play till We Die revisits
the groundbreaking stories he originally explored, sharing what has
happened to these musicians, their music, their politics, and their
societies since then. The book covers a stunning array of
developments, not just in metal and hip hop scenes, but with emo in
Baghdad, mahraganat in Egypt, techno in Beirut, and more. LeVine
also reveals how artists have used global platforms like YouTube
and SoundCloud to achieve unprecedented circulation of their music
outside corporate or government control. The first collective
ethnography and biography of the post-2010 generation, We'll Play
till We Die explains and amplifies the radical possibilities of
music as a revolutionary force for change.
