Dani Del Toro viene al programa con Candice Ivory es una cantante de Millington (Tennessee) afincada en San Luis (Misuri) y es considerada “Reina del Avant Soul”. “Amaba y respetaba a mi tío abuelo Will Roy Sanders, pero también buscaba mujeres modelos a seguir en un campo muy dominado por los hombres. Como músico en activo cuando aún estaba en la escuela secundaria, tuve una epifanía cuando visité la tumba de Memphis Minnie en Walls, MS, apenas unos años después de que Bonnie Raitt comprara una lápida para su tumba que llevaba mucho tiempo sin marcar. Me sorprendió descubrir que los visitantes de todo el mundo habían transformado la tumba de Minnie en un santuario. Eso me causó una impresión inolvidable, aunque ella es casi una desconocida”.DISCO 1 RHIANNON GIDDENS & JUSTIN ROBINSON Marchin Jaybird DISCO 2 EL ÚLTIMO DE LA FILA Aviones plateados DISCO 3 YOUNG GUN SILVER FOX Born To DreamDISCO 4 EDDY SMITH & THE 507 Love Sick DISCO 5 VALERIE JUNE & The Blind Boys of Alabama Changed DISCO 6 CANDICE IVORY Hard Down Lie DISCO 7 DANI DEL TORO ______________________ DISCO 8 CANDICE IVORY Hoodoo Lady DISCO 9 MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER Bitter Ender Escuchar audio

We're hearing a lot about diversity and inclusion these days (which is great!) but as we'll learn in this episode, those two words and what they stand for are at the very core of what guided the earliest days of Newport Folk and Jazz over sixty years ago, continuing to this day. And as we know, there is still much work to be done to make our world a just and equal place. Listen in as the women of Our Native Daughters share the experience of their powerful performance at Newport in 2019, their mission of amplifying the perspectives of Black American women from the time of slavery through the present, and discuss the ongoing need for better representation across genres - in particular Americana and Country - that have their roots in the black community, and at events like Newport Folk. Amplifying women's voices, and women of color, is an important part of this conversation, too, and Yola speaks on the importance of The Highwomen's debut at Newport Folk and Brandi Carlile's all female headlining set, as well as her own sense of purpose in occupying and owning space in what is currently an overwhelmingly white genre. We dive into the history of Newport and why the insistence racial equality and diversity of its lineups was an especially personal mission of George Wein's - one that he carried to New Orleans when creating Jazz Fest alongside the parents of Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe. and how that festival in turn helped to integrate New Orleans. And Colin Meloy and Judy Collins join us to talk about folk music's history as a tool for organizing and empowering the disenfranchised, especially through the voice of Pete Seeger. The fight continues to surround hate and force it to surrender. Festival Circuit: Newport Folk is presented by Osiris Media, and hosted by Carmel Holt. It is co-written, co-produced and edited by Carmel and Julian Booker, who is also the series' audio engineer. Production assistance from Zach Brogan. Executive producers are RJ Bee and Christina Collins. Show Logo and art by Mark Dowd. The series theme music is "Ruminations Pt. 3 (Afternoon Haze)" by Steven Warwick.

ReString Appalachia www.americansongcatcher.com/ReStringAppalachia ReString Appalachia is an initiative by American Songcatcher to get instruments that were lost due to Helene back in the hands of musicians throughout Appalachia. This effort is supported by over 125 roots musicians, including Bela Fleck, Rhiannon Giddens, Old Crow Medicine Show, The Infamous Stringdusters and many more, as well as several non profits, instrument makers, venues, festivals, actors, visual artists and media outlets. - It's been nearly a month since Helene brought unfathomable devastation to Appalachia. I've honestly never been so consumed with grief after a natural disaster. I have countless memories of performing, camping and hiking... so many good times throughout Appalachia over the last 15 years. I got married in Swannanoa. I almost moved to both Brevard and Asheville. I also have dozens and dozens of dear, talented friends throughout East TN, WNC, SC, North GA, and FL. It's been hard to embrace that it'll never be the same, that so many are suffering. Words fell short in a time like this. Action speaks, and I had to do something. So, through the American Songcatcher network, I've been quietly building an initiative that will put instruments back in the hands of those who lost them due to the storm. The exact, or comparable instrument. This effort is called ReString Appalachia. Whether you're a professional, or picking for the love of it, the importance of continuing the living tradition of Appalachian music culture is paramount, and American Songcatcher aims to keep it that way. Over the next month, you're going to see 100's of musicians, non profits, venues, festivals, actors, artists and media outlets post about ReString Appalachia. If you, or someone you know lost an instrument due to Helene, if you have instruments to donate, or if you are seeking a tax-exempt donation to help us cover the costs, please visit the link in the show notes. American Songcatcher will be back very soon with a very special live episode on Western North Carolina music history. Thank you for listening. Here's to the songs of old, may they live on forever. www.americansongcatcher.com/ReStringAppalachia --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/americansongcatcher/support

It is a privilege to welcome Emmy award-winning filmmaker Kristi Jacobson to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. Kristi's films have premiered at the Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals, have been released in theaters worldwide, and screened on platforms including ABC, CBS, Discovery, ESPN, HBO, Hulu, MAX, Netflix, and PBS. Her 2016 HBO film Solitary, an unflinching exploration of life inside one of America's most notorious supermax prisons, was nominated for two Emmy Awards, winning the Outstanding Investigative Documentary award. It also received nominations for Independent Spirit's Truer Than Fiction Award and Cinema Honors Outstanding Achievement in Broadcast Nonfiction Film. In 2021, Kristi directed Homefront, part of the HBO/Max and Sesame Workshop series Through Our Eyes, which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award, and the film was a Columbia-DuPont Finalist. That same year, she also directed an episode, “The Protectors,” on the Netflix original series Dogs. Media outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, The Los Angeles Times, Vanity Fair, and The Wall Street Journal have featured her work. Kristi Jacobson's latest project is Louder: The Soundtrack of Change. The documentary takes audiences on a journey across generations, eras, and genres, anchored by a female chorus of musical icons whose songs, voices, and activism inspired the past and current fight for equality for all. While Kristi directed the film, actress and singer Selena Gomez and New York Times best-selling author and activist Stacey Abrams were among the producers. The film features interviews with Selena, Stacey, H.E.R., Mickey Guyton, Rhiannon Giddens, and music legends Chaka Khan, Linda Ronstadt, and Melissa Etheridge. On this special edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kristi Jacobson spoke about her most memorable moments working with Selena Gomez and Stacey Abrams, assembling the all-star cast, and the lessons that she hopes that the audience takes away from Louder: The Soundtrack of Change.

An enduring song that stands out because of the contribution of an unlikely collaborator, and a cover so steeped in genius it'd be hard to imagine the possibility if you didn't hear it with your own ears. Don't Come Around Here No More, originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, covered by Rhiannon Giddens, featuring Silk Road Ensemble and Benmont Tensch. Outro music is Texas Hold ‘Em, by Beyonce, which features Rhiannon Giddens on banjo.
[REBROADCAST FROM OCTOBER 19, 2023] Composer, vocalist and banjo virtuoso Rhiannon Giddens talks about her work, from adapting songs from folk traditions around the world, to her latest album of original music called "You're The One." Giddens will be performing this weekend in Katonah NY.
We're back with part two of our string-tastic story of the banjo! In the last episode, musician Rhiannon Giddens helped tell the origin story of the banjo, an instrument many think of as American. But it actually comes from Africa. Today, we're focusing on how the banjo went from an instrument played mostly by enslaved people to one of the most popular instruments in the United States. The reason for this was a popular form of entertainment in the mid to late 1800s called minstrel shows. Later on, the banjo helped create the genre known as bluegrass. Now it's having a resurgence thanks to artists like Beyoncé.Featured expert: Rhiannon Giddens is a Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning singer and instrumentalist.

Today's episode has a lot of pluck! It's all about the banjo. For over 100 years, the banjo has been associated with country and bluegrass music, two genres that over-index with white musicians. But, with the help of Rhiannon Giddens, we find out that this uniquely American instrument traveled from Africa. The banjo's story is so rich, it can't be contained in just one episode, so we decided to make two! We're also going to string you along for an extra week to think about your answers to First Things First. The question comes in this episode, and the answer comes out in the next.

I speak with award-winning music photographer Michael Weintrob about his unusual path through the visual side of music, and how keeping his head down and his heart open has resulted in one of the most exciting careers in the business.Michael and I met around 2013. I was instantly struck by his combustible hustle, a kind of leaning forward in life. I was rocking bowties back then (call it my Willie Wonka phase) and… he grabbed me in my native habitat.I've been following him ever since — through his launch of the Instrumenthead series, his installations at Jazzfest in New Orleans, the two exquisitely crafted Instrumenthead coffee table books, and the Instrumenthead Live concert series he produced during the pandemic, which featured more than 70 concerts filmed and broadcast out of the Weintrob studio. Pivot, move forward, pivot, move forward. Along the way Michael has cemented his reputation as a go-to live concert photographer for some of the coolest venues in the world: Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Ascend Amphitheater, the Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, the Barcelona Jazz Festival and Bluegrass Underground. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talked about the evolution of Instrumenthead, from its genesis as a spontaneous idea backstage, to a slowly accruing catalogue of artists and opportunities. How it was anything but an overnight success.We also share stories of loss and tragedy — Michael going through a cousin's suicide and the death of my little sister — and how those life experiences changed our perspective and priorities. I also share a story I've never told before about a fated trip to see the Grateful Dead my senior year of high year, and the tragedy that happened along the way.Throughout, we take a look at some of the artists captured in Weintrob's camera, and learn why he chose the poses he did. Artists like Derek Trucks, Rhiannon Giddens, Bootsy Collins, Mickey Hart, and… me.I have a ton of respect and admiration for Michael Weintrob. A guy who not only blazed an original path through a fraught industry of intense competition and constant uncertainty, but who came out of it creating somethingculturally important, historical even.Website https://michaelweintrob.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/michaelweintrob/The Morse Code is a reader-supported publication.

By the standards of any musician, Rhiannon Giddens has taken a twisting and complex path. She was trained as an operatic soprano at the prestigious Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and then fell almost by chance into the study of American folk music and took up the banjo. With like-minded musicians, she founded the influential Carolina Chocolate Drops, which focussed on reviving the repertoire of Black Southern string bands. Giddens plays on Beyoncé's new country album, which boldly asserts the Black presence in country music. But her view of Black music is unbounded by genre: “There's been Black people singing opera and writing classical music forever.” Giddens shared a Pulitzer Prize for the opera “Omar” in 2023, and as a solo artist, she has moved through the Black diaspora and beyond it. David Remnick talked with Giddens when her album “There Is No Other,” recorded in Dublin, had just come out, and she performed in the studio with her collaborator, Francesco Turrisi. This segment originally aired May 3, 2019.
Beyoncé's highly anticipated country album, Cowboy Carter, is out today. One of the musicians on it is fiddle and banjo player Rhiannon Giddens. We'll listen to our 2010 in-studio performance with the group she was part of then, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. They played string band and jug band music of the '20s and '30s, music most people associate with a white southern tradition. But the members of the Carolina Chocolate Drops are Black. They saw themselves as part of a little known Black string band tradition— forerunners of modern country music and bluegrass.John Powers reviews A Gentleman in Moscow, starring Ewan McGregor, which begins streaming today on Paramount+.

It's been a busy period for the pioneering musical artist Rhiannon Giddens. She won a Pulitzer Prizer for her opera Omar, about Omar ibn Said, a Muslim scholar in Africa who was sold into slavery in the 1800s. She released a remarkable musical video for her song “Another Wasted Life” featuring 22 people who were wrongly incarcerated. And now her banjo playing can be heard on “Texas Hold 'Em” the new hit single by Beyonce who recently become the first Black woman to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs Chart. In October, Rhiannon Giddens spoke to Democracy Now about her remarkable life from her work in the Carolina Chocolate Drops to her new album “You're the One,” which features a song inspired by Kalief Browder.
Rhiannon Giddens has released five solo albums since 2015. Before that, she was a member of the Grammy-winning band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. She is now also the artistic director of the Silkroad Ensemble, the musical supergroup that Yo-Yo Ma founded. Rhiannon Giddens is one of those people where I feel like they have to start inventing new awards, because she's already won all of them. She's got multiple Grammys, she won the Pulitzer Prize for an opera she co-wrote called Omar, she's a MacArthur Genius, and the new Beyonce song “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the one that features the banjo? That's Rhiannon Giddens playing the banjo. (I guess that's not technically an award, but it feels like one to me.) In 2023, Rhiannon released an album called You're The One, and I talked to her about the song she wrote called "You Louisiana Man," which was nominated for a Grammy for Best American Roots Performance.

Broken Record with Rick Rubin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam and Justin Richmond
We're halfway through Black History month and although we didn't intend to rerun some of our older conversations to celebrate the month, after realizing we needed to do something to mark Usher's Super Bowl performance and the release of the new Bob Marley biopic “One Love,” we figured we might as well keep going and celebrate the whole month long…because now we have a country album from Beyonce on the way. Beyonce released two songs from her upcoming album the night of the Super Bowl—“16 Carriages” and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM”—to a rapturous response. Not only are the songs good. But they sparked a lot of meaningful conversations about the usefulness of genres, the way marketing shapes our listening and gatekeeping in music. Those are all things very close to Rhiannon Giddens' heart. As a black banjo player, steeped in the Americana tradition—and its Transatlantic roots—she's been living this conversation her whole career. Rhiannon also happens to play on the song “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM” with Beyonce. Which just this week hit number one on the country chart, making her the first time a black woman has ever held that spot. So let's flash back to when we had Rhiannon on Broken Record back in 2021 to speak with Bruce Headlam about her album They're Calling Me Home.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
