The city when its sound was being invented. I Hear Music in the Streets: New York 1969–89 documents two decades of New York's most fertile and chaotic music scenes — captured by more than fifty photographers including Arlene Gottfried, Peter Hujar, and Jamel Shabazz.

Edited by Guillermo M. Ferrando with an accompanying essay by music historian Tim Lawrence, the book is organized into thematic chapters exploring the movements that defined the era — hip-hop, disco, punk, and Latin music — and the communities and places that birthed them, from the Bronx to the subways. A portrait of the city when its sound, its style, and its subcultures were all reshaping the world at once.

The era that scored New York.
