Synopsis

In the heart of America, where the Mississippi River winds its way through fertile fields and vibrant cities, lies a musical legacy that has captivated the world: the blues. "American Echoes: A Journey Through the Heart of the Blues" takes you on an immersive journey along Highway 61, the legendary road that has served as a musical artery for generations.

Join a father and son as they embark on a road trip, tracing the footsteps of blues legends and discovering the hidden gems of this uniquely American genre. From the juke joints of Memphis to the honky-tonks of Texas, they delve into the stories of the musicians who shaped the blues, uncovering the raw emotions and personal struggles that fueled their music.

Through their travels, they encounter a diverse cast of characters, from grizzled old bluesmen to rising stars, each with their own unique story to tell. They witness the blues in all its forms, from the traditional sounds of the Delta to the electrified urban blues of Chicago. And they experience firsthand the transformative power of music, its ability to heal wounds, bridge divides, and bring people together.

"American Echoes" is more than just a travelogue; it is a celebration of the blues and its enduring legacy. It explores the genre's historical and cultural significance, its impact on American society, and its continued relevance in today's world. With vivid prose and insightful commentary, the book sheds new light on this iconic American art form, revealing its universal appeal and timeless beauty.

Whether you are a lifelong blues fan or new to the genre, "American Echoes" will captivate you with its rich storytelling, evocative descriptions, and deep appreciation for the music and the people who make it. Prepare to be transported to the heart of the blues, where the music flows like a river and the stories resonate long after the final note has faded away.

    "World music" emerged as a commercial and musical category in the 1980s, but in some sense music has always been global. Through the metaphor of encounters, Music and Globalization explores the dynamics that enable or hinder cross-cultural communication through music. In the stories told by the contributors, we meet well-known players such as David Byrne, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Ry Cooder, Fela Kuti, and Gilberto Gil, but also lesser-known characters such as the Senegalese Afro-Cuban singer Laba Sosseh and Raramuri fiddle players from northwest Mexico. This collection demonstrates that careful historical and ethnographic analysis of global music can show us how globalization operates and what, if anything, we as consumers have to do with it.
