Various Artists - Negro Alabama 1: Secular / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In an attempt to break away from the caricature of black music that was popular in America during the 1950s, Harold Courlander compiled this collection as documentation of black music in Alabama in it's purest form. Placed in the context of homilies and prayers this second volume of religious music captures the essence of black spirituals found in the south and features the popular hymn, InchFree at Last.Inch

The 24 selections included in the 1951 compilation InchNegro Folk Music of Africa and AmericaInch provide a sample of musical styles from Africa, and the African diaspora in South America, the Caribbean, and the Southern United States. This anthology demonstrates the continuation of African musical traditions into the New World. According to producer Harold Courlander, Inchin some parts of the Americas it is possible to find old African songs and dances that are still known in almost identical form in local African communities.Inch the album includes songs such as InchIngane KamalumeInch from South Africa, Inch'Jesha Cult SongInch from Brazil, and InchDidn't You Hear My Lord When He Called?Inch from Alabama, USA.
