ROOTS MUSIC IS NOT, BY DEFINITION, A MUSICAL GENRE. IT IS THE EVOLVING CONSCIOUSNESS OF COMMUNITIES SHAPED BY DISTINCT CULTURAL ORIGINS. THE RELEVANCE OF MUSICAL ECOSYSTEMS, DEEPLY ROOTED ACROSS THE PLANET AS FORMS OF EXPRESSION, IS DRIVEN BY DEVELOPMENT, CHANGE, THE TRANSFORMATION OF TIME, AND THE PROACTIVE EVOLUTION OF THEIR PARTICIPANTS. LIKE ANY OTHER SIMPLIFICATION ONE MAY RESORT TO, THE AFRICAN AMERICAN TRADITION HAS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO OBJECTIVELY UNDERSTAND ITS MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT, INSOFAR AS ITS DIVERSITY AND ANCESTRY HAVE SCULPTED A ROBUST CULTURAL FRAMEWORK ENDOWED WITH INHERENT AND TRANSCENDENT CHANNELS OF TRANSMISSION. SOUL MUSIC, WHICH BROUGHT NEW DIMENSIONS TO THE POP MUSIC OF THE SIXTIES, HAS POSSESSED THE NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS FOR ITS RE-EVOLUTION TO CONTINUE WITHOUT LIMITS THROUGH ITS MANY TRANSFORMATIONS UP TO THE PRESENT DAY. SPEAKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SOUL MUSIC IS A MEANINGLESS UNCERTAINTY. BROTHER WALLACE IS A LINK IN THE CHAIN THAT STRENGTHENS BOTH THE REALITY AND THE LEGACY OF WHAT IS NOW, UNMISTAKABLY, THIS MUSICAL GENRE. “ELECTRIC LOVE” IS THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OF SOUL MUSIC.
