Not to mention that during the past three decades, Detroit has blessed the world with some of the most revered musical acts, such as garage/blues-rock stalwarts The White Stripes, techno pioneers Carl Craig and Derrick May, and rap juggernaut Eminem. But what I suspect many people don’t recognize is that Detroit possesses one of the most dynamic underground rock, electronic, and hip-hop communities in the world. The indelible legacy of Motown Records comes most immediately to mind when one thinks of Detroit’s musical heritage, and understandably so. And through all of Detroit’s past, present and future impermanence, one cultural phenomenon has remained-and will remain-remarkably stable throughout the city: its vibrant music scene. The next few decades are destined to be a transformative period for Detroit, one marked by constant development and change. Recent commitment to and investment in reinvigorating the Detroit economy have shown promise, as evidenced by the accelerated influx of new business and young professionals interested in calling the Motor City home.
