Nuits du blues – Les bedaines de coton

harvesting cotton, floating down the river, learning to play the guitar, escaping on the road: Cyril Maguy portrays the exciting and slightly madcap rural life with passion, pedagogy and a deep respect for the blues of its origins". Télérama Mississippi, turn of the last century, Dockery farm, Sunflower County, cotton field atmosphere: listen to the story of Charley Patton, the man who gave birth to the delta blues. A hard worker, a brawler, a charmer, he loved to share his music, his only real freedom from the "cotton bellies". This show is based on the book-disc "Les Bedaines de coton ou la vie de Charley Patton" by Cyril Maguy and Bertrand Lanche (published by Le label dans la forêt).
