Listen "The FORGOTTEN Creators of Country Music"
Episode Synopsis
Country music, often seen as a white rural American music genre, has roots deeply woven into various musical traditions, many of which were significantly shaped by African-Americans. When country music started as a genre, it found inspiration from a wide range of musical styles, including many Black ones. This African-American influence is prominent within numerous aspects of this music genre, starting from the choice of instruments and songs to the vocal and instrumental techniques.Join us while we talk about the history of Black Country MusicAudio: Onemichistory.comSecond Channel: Historic Eats https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMP3fc9Zag8y5rHluD_WQogFollow me on Instagram: @onemic_history Follow me onTwitter: https://twitter.com/onemichistoryFollow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OnemichistoryPlease support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=25697914Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Countryboi2mSources:https://time.com/5673476/ken-burns-country-music-black-artists/ https://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/history-black-artists-country-music-qriffk/26737/ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/article/black-history-in-country-music#:~:text=Country%20music's%20legacy,gospel%20guitar%20player%20and%20folklorist. https://skidmorenews.com/new-blog/2022/2/23/a-dive-into-the-black-history-of-country-music-giving-credit-where-its-dueBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/one-mic-black-history--4557850/support.
