SE0222 – Gospel Blanc, Gospel Noir – Métissage et exclusion

Que de palpitations la vie d’animateur à CFOU recèle-t-elle! Voici la liste des pièces diffusée la semaine dernière avec un retard inexcusables pour les 2 ou 3 personnes qui se sentent interpellées.

 

Ce playlist démontre à quel point les univers noirs et blancs du sud des États-Unis, dont la ségrégation raciale était l’une des plus laides réalités (encore jusqu’à un certain point aujourd’hui!), se touchaient et s’interfécondaient à travers la musique religieuse. Le premier apportait le rythme gospel et le blues, le second la matière première et la touche country (ce « blues » du blanc).
