Here is a real treasure that has been rescued from Folkways archives about the history, the roots and the old authentic Afroamerican musical tradition in its purest and truly way Each record has four different chapters But before listing these chapters, let me tell you that this Folkways jewel is only recommended to really lovers and researchers of the history and evolution of the Afroamerican musical culture along the 20th Century and those who only look for electric rockin’ blues will be completely deceived with these 2 cds The eight chapters are: 1/ The oral tradition 2/ Testimony against slavery 3/ Reconstruction and depression 4/ Voices of pride and protest I 5/ Voices of pride and protest II 6/ The sounds of twentieth-century America 7/ Voices of civil rights and black power 8/ Contemporary Afrioamerican voices More details are unnecessary after these specific titles
