Blacks With Blues Podcast

It is said that our ancestors who tilled soils in the night utilized CHANT & SONG to maintain through slave labor. The colloquial antebellum slur was then coined “mooncricket”, to mimic their CHANTS & SONGS emerging from fields similar to restless crickets in the night. Surely CHANT & SONG is a technology used to maintain at the backdrop of state-sanctioned horror. And those that employ this sacred technology are practitioners, not of survival, but of life’s truest rhythm… love.
