Black History Month 2020

Among the many suggestions for reading and reflection that could be shared, I have recently been struck by the project Songs of our native daughters.

The liner notes can be downloaded for free from the smithsonian, and they are a fantastic resource.

Much like another recording from the Smithsonian Folways, Capoeira Angola: from Salvador Brasil by Grupo de Capoeira Angola Pelourinho, whose liner notes can also be downloaded for free.

This is a video with some reflections from the four women who participated in the project Songs of our native daughters.

And this is a video of GCAP from 1991 - a classic!
