Rhiannon Giddens derrama o peso emocional da história americana em suas músicas. Ouça suas baladas folclóricas tradicionais - incluindo "Waterboy" (Garoto da Água), "Up Above My Head" (Acima de Minha Cabeça) e "Lonesome Road" (Estrada Solitária), de Sister Rosetta Tharp - e uma gloriosa canção original, "Come Love Come" (Venha, amor, venha), inspirada por narrativas da escravidão durante a Guerra Civil.

Canções que trazem a história à vida

Folk songs and ballads can bring the struggles and hopes of American history to life, carrying the weight of individual stories from slavery and beyond. By transforming real Civil War-era slave narratives into music, these songs invite listeners to feel the hardships and resilience of those who lived through them. The performance celebrates not only pain but also the triumph and innovation found in the Black musical tradition, from work songs to gospel-infused rock 'n' roll. Listener participation and shared singing become acts of remembrance and connection.
