Autor Samuel Chartersen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 aug 1991
"I
went
to
Africa
to
find
the
roots
of
the
blues."
So
Samuel
Charters
begins
the
extraordinary
story
of
his
research.
But
what
began
as
a
study
of
how
the
blues
was
handed
down
from
African
slaves
to
musicians
of
today
via
the
slave
ships,
became
something
much
more
complex.
For
in
Africa
Samuel
Charters
discovered
a
music
which
was
not
just
a
part
of
the
past
but
a
very
vital
living
part
of
African
culture.The
Roots
of
the
Bluesnot
only
reveals
Charters's
remarkable
talent
in
discussing
African
folk
music
and
its
relationship
with
American
blues;
it
demonstrates
his
power
as
a
descriptive
and
narrative
writer.
Using
extensive
quotations
of
song
lyrics
and
some
remarkable
photographs
of
the
musicians,
Charters
has
created
a
unique
contribution
to
our
understanding
of
both
African
and
American
cultures
and
their
music.
