(Belgium)
A tribute to Alan Lomax
Roland Van Campenhout
The Golden Glows: Nel Ponsaers, Bram Van Moorhem & Katleen Scheir
The Golden Glows: Nel Ponsaers, Bram Van Moorhem & Katleen Scheir
The Golden Glows, a trio originated from Antwerp with a predilection for old, somehow abandoned music, got the privilege to start working on a unique musical legacy: the Prison Songs, recorded by Alan Lomax in the Forties in Parchman Farm, de oldest penitentiary of Mississippi. The Golden Glows created a unique performance, balancing on raw energy and vocal power.
Blues legend Lead Belly was discovered by Alan Lomax and his father John A.Lomax in the Thirties during their trips around prisons in the South of the United States to record Prison Songs. Everybody knows Lead Belly's "Good Night Irene" by The Weavers and Nirvana's version of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night (In the Pines)", but the man wrote almost 500 songs. Who’s more qualified than Roland, Belgium’s own blues legend, to make and to present an exciting selection of this repertoire?
The evening starts with the projection of the documentary “The Land Where the Blues Began” (USA, 60), retracing the search of Alan Lomax, John Bishop and Worth Long for the origins of the blues in the Mississippi delta.
