Jul 6 - For the Record.- Part 6

I've mentioned this web series before. It's produced by the Cosmic Shambles Network, and presented by Charlotte Ritchie. 

It promises to tell the history of music. Early reviews have been very positive. 

I'll post links to the episodes here to increase exposure.

Part Six - Way Down 

The massive global impact of African rhythms is the focus of this episode and how the barbarism of slavery, and the resilience of enslaved people, gave rise to genres such as blues, jazz, country, rock and roll and more. The episode also includes a dive into the rich musical history and tradition of a modern day musical Babylon, New Orleans. Interviewees include: Donald Harrison Jr, The Hot 8 Brass Band and Givonna Joseph

This series is an entirely independent production made possible by fan support on Patreon and Substack. 

Episode 6 is here:

Episode 7 coming up next 

I will post a review of the series when I've had the chance to watch and also add links to the episodes.
