RADIO HDO #38 : Black, American & Different

Blues, jazz, rock, ska, punk… : les genres investis avec talent par les artistes noirs américains sont innombrables. Directement militant ou pas, certains d’entre eux ont surtout affirmé leur identité par leur différence, leur prise de risque artistique et leur goût du métissage. Pour que créativité et liberté marchent main dans la main, le poing levé.

___________________

Blues, jazz, rock, ska, punk … Black american musicians have played, and sometimes created, almost all musical genres. Politically involved or not, most of them have, beyond all, expressed their identity and differences in taking artistic risks. For creativity and freedom are sisters, deprived of colors, who, united, stand together.
