Considers key socio-political moments and figures that highlight the enduring relationship between music, sound, and sport

The collisions of music and sport are so ubiquitous that they often go unnoticed as cultural phenomena. Yet the integration of sound into sport has become inseparable from the experience itself--from walk-up songs and seventh-inning sing-alongs in Major League Baseball to the halftime spectacle of the Super Bowl, the California Sound of surfing culture, and the percussive traditions of Brazilian Capoeira.

The Sound of Victory: Music, Sport, and Society explores these intersections through close examinations of key moments, figures, spaces, and events that reveal the deep socio-cultural significance and historical reverberations of music and sport. Bringing together interdisciplinary scholars and practitioners--filmmakers, journalists, and cultural critics--the volume investigates how sound shapes the ways sport is performed, experienced, and understood across diverse contexts from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.

Across eighteen chapters organized into four thematic sections, The Sound of Victory positions the links between music, sound, and sport as a generative lens for exploring questions of power, identity, and belonging. Spanning media, technology, politics, and popular culture, contributors trace how the music, sound, and sporting industries have evolved in dialogue with one another. Together, they illuminate an enduring relationship that continues to define the affective and communal power of modern sport.
