Please Note: This is a past event.
Setting aside Chicago and the Mississippi Delta’s rival claims to blues-heartland primacy, this international gathering brings together artists whose lineage and traditions stretch from southern France to Central America, Native American to British Caribbean, highlighting the blues’ rich diasporan diversity. For Provençal quartet Moussu T e lei jovents, singing in the ancient Occitan language, the interface is the their home port of Marseille, gateway to Africa and the Americas; for singer- songwriters and activists Pura Fé (of Puerto Rican and Tuscarora Nation parentage) and John Trudell (Santee Sioux/Mexican) it’s the shared slave history of Native and black Americans. Brixton-born harmonica wizard and singer Errol Linton, meanwhile, infuses his blues with shades of reggae and ska. Also performing is Memphis born Keith B. Brown whose mastery and knowledge of Delta Blues Styles has put him at the forefront of a small but important new generation of African-american country-blues artists. His music represents a homogenous coexistance of traditional blues and more contemporary compositions.
Over 14s only and under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.
