This collection is the musical equivalent of a family reunion. Blues music was born in the southern United States, but its DNA is undeniably African. The trajectory of African and African-American music is like separate halves of a circle; while they started in the same place, they grew apart for a while and then curved back to meet each other again. When Africans were finally reunited with the blues created by their African-American cousins, they were amazed by the similarities with their own music. The pentatonic scale and the penchant for bending notes to enhance the emotional poignancy of a melody are still fundamental aspects of African and African-American music. In the mid-1900s, when Africans started hearing music by American blues legends such as John Lee Hooker and Muddy Waters, it resonated with them. They began to imitate the styles they heard on records and the radio. In recent years, many American and European musicians have recorded and performed with musicians from Africa, and several songs on this collection represent these cross-cultural collaborations.
