In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, #BlackMusic and the 60th Anniversary of Amiri Baraka's revolutionary book "Blues People," the @apollotheater presents "The Blues and Its People" Saturday, February 18!Tickets and info:

Reposted from @apollotheater “Where the music goes, that’s where the people go. The music reflects the people.” – #AmiriBaraka

From field hollers to gospel to the blues and jazz, the evolution of the Black experience in America can be traced through the evolution of Black music.

Amiri Baraka explored these parallels in his book “Blues People”. In honor of the work’s 60th anniversary, we’re thrilled to present an immersive evening of original music featuring composer/trumpeter #RussellGunn @russellgunn and his Royal Krunk Jazz Orkestra, vocalist #JazzmeiaHorn @artistryofjazzhorn, drummer #WeedieBraimah @weediebraimah, poet #jessicaCaremoore @jessicacaremoor, and more in a 24-piece ensemble!

Celebrate the expanse of Black creativity at “The Blues and Its People” for one night only on The Apollo stage. bit.ly/Apollo_BluesPeople

Paducah's historic Hotel Metropolitan has been extensively damaged by vandalism. It is heartbreaking. This is the place at which BB King, Billie Holiday and so many more stayed all those years ago before desegregation. It has a special place in my bands' heart too. I have already committed to any kind of fundraiser which can be put together to repair and restore it. My prayer is that you join us. #worthycause #blues #blueshistory #bluesmusic #paducah #kentucky #history #landmark (at Paducah, Kentucky) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_qf2o6p6om/?igshid=1lb2c3a0bqbay

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. #blues #bluesmusic #blueshistory #livemusicrocks #saxophonist #artist #musicgram #blueswomanman #bluesartist #concert

Ma Rainey, born on this day, helped make blues music popular. She was one of the first blues musicians to record when she began working with Paramount Records in 1923. (Swipe ➡️ to see a record from 1924). The earliest blues recordings, made in the 1920s, were labeled “race records” and marketed to African American audiences. Today the blues is recognized as the primary root of 20th-century American popular music, influencing jazz, rhythm and blues, country, and rock and roll.
