Couleur. Durée: 60'. American Patchwork are songs and stories about America hosted by Alan Lomax. "The land where the blues began is the Mississippi Delta. It is the richest land in the world, where over a century ago, thousands of African-Americans came in search of work. Out of the hard life and sorrows of these wandering laborers came the blues. Listen to them 'converse' with their instruments in 'hot' rhythms on homemade instruments that reflect the strong link between Africa and the Delta."
