Sous le ciel géorgien du siècle dernier, Bessie Jones, héritière des chants d'esclaves, se fit gardienne des psaumes de liberté, alors que l'Amérique oscillait entre prohibition et libération. Élevée au rythme des negro spirituals de son grand-père, elle sut dès l'enfance que chaque mélodie raconte une histoire, que chaque parole chante une mémoire. Le destin la fit mère et veuve prématurément, sculptant sa force et sa résilience. Sur les rivages de Saint-Simon, elle tissa des liens avec la Spiritual Singers Society, et plus tard, avec les Georgia Sea Island Singers, elle devint messagère des îles, éclaireuse culturelle, semant les graines des traditions afro-américaines. Sa voix, telle une passerelle entre passé et présent, s'élevait, défiant le silence imposé à ses ancêtres. Elle traversa les États-Unis, son art en étendard, prêchant par l'exemple que la musique est un pont vers l'égalité. Compagne de lutte de Martin Luther King, elle marcha, chantant pour l'espérance. Bessie, par ses gospels, fit plus que divertir ; elle réveilla les consciences. Son livre « Step It Down », et ses albums, sont les témoignages de sa vie. En mourant, Bessie Jones léguait au monde bien plus que des mélodies, elle offrait un héritage de résilience, un chant éternel de justice et d'unité.

I'm really sorry to hear about the passing of Tommy Smothers today: what an impact he and his brother made in both the world of comedy and music (and yo-yo technique). A few more thoughts and photos at the link…

Empowering Sounds: Exploring Latina Feminine Identity in Folk, Pop, and Beyond
In the vibrant tapestry of the global music scene, Latina artists have carved out a space that resonates with rich cultural heritage, resilience, and a unique feminine identity. This blog aims to delve into the diverse world of Latina musicians who not only sing, play, and compose, but also contribute significantly to shaping the narrative of pop music.
The intersection of Latina identity and folk traditions has given rise to a powerful and dynamic musical genre that reflects the multifaceted experiences of Latina women. From the soul-stirring melodies of traditional folk tunes to the modern beats of pop, Latina artists are redefining the boundaries and making their voices heard.
Unveiling Latina Feminine Identity in Folk
Folk music has long been a medium for storytelling, a way to express the joys, struggles, and triumphs of a community. For Latina women, folk music becomes a canvas upon which they paint narratives of resilience, heritage, and empowerment. Drawing inspiration from their roots, these artists infuse traditional rhythms with contemporary sounds, creating a unique blend that resonates globally.
Exploring the works of artists like Lila Downs, Natalia Lafourcade, and Ana Tijoux provides a glimpse into the diverse ways in which Latina musicians use folk elements to celebrate their identity. Whether it's through the haunting sounds of traditional instruments or the poetic lyrics that speak of cultural pride, these artists exemplify the fusion of tradition and modernity.
Shaping the Pop Landscape
In recent years, Latina artists have become integral to the evolution of pop music. Their influence extends beyond the confines of language, as their music transcends borders and captivates audiences worldwide. Embracing their heritage while embracing modernity, these musicians navigate the complex terrain of pop with grace and innovation.
Rosalía, for example, has taken the pop world by storm with her flamenco-inspired tunes, challenging conventional notions of what pop music can be. Her ability to seamlessly weave elements of traditional Spanish music into a contemporary pop framework showcases the fluidity of musical genres and the power of cultural fusion.
Beyond Borders: The Global Impact
The music of Latina artists is not confined to a specific region—it reverberates globally, reaching ears and hearts far beyond cultural boundaries. By embracing their feminine identity, these musicians contribute to a global conversation on diversity, inclusion, and empowerment.
This blog will embark on a journey through the discographies of influential Latina artists, exploring the themes that define their music and the impact they've had on the broader music landscape. From the roots of folk traditions to the mainstream success of pop, we will uncover the stories behind the songs and celebrate the strength, creativity, and resilience of Latina women in the world of music.
Join us as we dive into the captivating world of Latina feminine identity in folk, pop, and beyond, discovering the melodies that speak to the soul and the artists who continue to shape the soundtrack of our lives.

Rank Strangers
Rank Strangers to Me
*Traditional song arranged and performed by Bob Dylan*
I wandered again to my home in the mountain
Where in youth's early dawn, I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me
Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
"Well, they all moved away, " said the voice of a stranger
"To some beautiful home on that bright, crystal sea"
Some beautiful day, well, I'll meet 'em in Heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me
Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me

The Summer Side of Life
Tumblr media
“Summer Side of Life” is the lead-off song from a 1972 Gordon Lightfoot concert in London, England. The song kept rolling around in my head until I decided to learn it and post it here.
Ostensibly, the song is about a young man who returns from the Vietnam War and mourns a lost love and possibly his war experiences. It’s a song about before and after, and maybe two sides of life. After the first two verses, I find the lyrics to be somewhat impenetrable. So, I can’t say for sure what the song is about, but it speaks to me about the difference between youth and old age.
I’d love to have my youth back with the perspective I have now and the freedom to follow my bliss, as Joseph Cambell says. Wouldn’t it be lovely to have decades to develop ourselves and our abilities without the distraction of economic necessity? Ahhh…if it could only be so.
It’s been fun learning this song. Here's my cover of it.
Did they really make a Canadian stamp imprinted with a portrait of GL as a young man?
