A gospel story : 1929-1962 : 2 CD

A gospel story Wozniak mise en scène marjorie guigue L'Histoire des negro spirituals et des Gospel songs, c'est l'Histoire dramatique du peuple afro-américain tout entier depuis l'esclavage. Près de quatre siècles de souffrance endurés à cause du rejet, du racisme, de la violence, mais aussi de résistance, de lutte, et de foi intense et inébranlable de sa communauté dans l'espoir d'un monde meilleur qui, avant de représenter l'au-delà, commence par la reconnaissance ici-bas de ses droits, de sa dignité, de sa liberté. Une lutte jamais terminée malgré l'accession de l'un de ses membres à la présidence des États-Unis. La rencontre forcée entre l'héritage africain et les traditions européennes, par l'intermédiaire du christianisme, va donner naissance à un art vocal populaire totalement original, d'une beauté, d'une grandeur, d'une charge émotionnelle et d'une puissance expressive, qui va assurer la cohésion et la survie de la population noire, et lui donner la force et les armes nécessaires à son émancipation. Servis par des voix immenses, Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Paul Robeson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Aretha Franklin, le Golden Gate Quartet... les chants sacrés vont constituer la base de toutes les musiques noires depuis plus d'un siècle : blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock'n'roll, soul music, funk, rap ; ils résonnent à présent dans le monde entier.The history of Negro spirituals and gospels is also the dramatic history of Afro-Americans from the days of slavery to the present : almost four centuries of suffering, endured through rejection, racism and violence, but also four centuries of resistance, struggle, and intense, unshakeable faith. Their community had faith in their hope for a better world that, before Paradise, began here on Earth with recognition : of Afro-Americans' rights to dignity and freedom. That struggle has never ended, despite a member of their people presiding over The United States. The forced encounter between African inheritance and European custom, through Christianity, would give birth to a popular vocal art that was totally original, an art whose beauty, grandeur, emotional charge and power of expression would ensure the consistency and survival of black people, giving it the strength and weapons necessary for emancipation. Served by immense voices - Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Paul Robeson, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Aretha Franklin, The Golden Gate Quartet - sacred songs would form the basis of all Black music for more than a century ; and today the sounds of blues, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock'n'roll, soul music, funk and rap are heard throughout the world.
