I Hear Music in the Streets: New York 1969–89

Edited by Guillermo M. Ferrando. Foreword by Tim Lawrence.

I Hear Music in the Streets: New York 1969–89

Capturing the energy of New York City's music subcultures—across hip-hop, punk and rap—through an array of snapshots by photographers including Peter Hujar, Susan Meiselas and many more

Featuring the work of Arlene Gottfried, Peter Hujar, Stephen Shames, Bruce Davidson, Susan Meiselas, Joseph Rodriguez and 60 other photographers, I Hear Music in the Streets is an ode to New York City's music scenes and subcultures from 1969 to 1989. The book is structured into eight thematic chapters, each exploring different communities, movements and spaces that shaped the city's music scene: "The Bronx Boys," "The Oddballs," "Black Power," "The Pride," "The Subways," "Our Latin Thing," "The Beach" and "Days of Disco." Guiding us through this urban journey is music historian Tim Lawrence, author of the bestselling titles Love Saves the Day (2004), Hold On to Your Dreams (2009) and Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor (2016).
Photographers include: Andy Warhol, Arlene Gottfried, Bill Bernstein, Bruce Davidson, Bruce Gilden, Camilo José Vergara, Carrie Boretz, Chantal Regnault, Charles Stewart, Chris Stein, David Godlis, David Gonzalez, Diana Davis, Diego Echevarría, Dustin Pittman, Edo Bertoglio, Geraldine Pontius, Helen Levitt, Henry Chalfant, Jack Garofalo, Jamel Shabazz, Jill Krementz, Joseph Rodriguez, Laura Levine, Leee Black Childers, Leon Gast, Leonard Fink, Leonard Freed, Lynn Goldsmith, Martha Cooper, Marylinn K.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Huck magazine

Miss Rosen

The oversized art book, replete with a padded cover that just fits snuggly in your arms, is a dazzling fantasia of New York’s cinematic underground, with vibrant scenes from an age before soaring rents and landlords razed the city’s cultural landscape.

Inside Hook

Hannah Argo

If you didn’t live it yourself, you at least know the stories of New York City in the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s: when subways were plastered not with sleek DTC ads but with raucous graffiti, when hip-hop was born in the Bronx and exploded across the city while lines snaked outside disco nightclubs, when the Black Power movement rose up alongside Pride. It’s a time that cannot be contained, so I Hear Music in the Streets embraces the chaos:...

Muse

Davide Di Santo

The project is monumental in both ambition and precision: over 60 photographers, nearly 200 large-format pages, black-and-white and color images documenting twenty years of urban subcultures with a visual rigor rarely found in volumes of this kind.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1977. “Studio 54,” by Waring Abbott, is from D.A.P. Best of 2025 Staff Pick I Hear Music in the Streets, ace photo editor Guillermo M. Ferrando’s cannot-put-it-down street photography collection, published by La Fábrica. Spanning the highly photogenic years 1969 to 1989, and touching down in every borough of the city, from the Bronx to Staten Island, this is a love letter to NYC subcultures, to music and to that ineffable, decisive moment in all great street photography. Featuring everyone from Andy Warhol to Susan Meiselas, Nan Goldin and Jamel Shabazz, it’s a book for every New Yorker with an eye or an ear for the people. “New York in the 1970s and 1980s, mythology has it, was a crumbling, crime-ridden, garbage-swamped disaster zone, a hellhole where nobody in their right mind would want to live,” essayist Tim Lawrence writes. “This version of New York history has been repeated so many times it’s become common sense. Yet the photos included in this book depict a city that, far from enduring a catastrophic and humiliating fall, brimmed with humanity, energy, even joy.” continue to blog
