    I agree with what you say. I have Scottish, Irish, Indian and African heritage and I love this music. I think my ancestors geared me towards this type of music and other variances of too.

    Just discovered this band this weekend. One performance of "Jackson" and I am utterly hooked. This song feels ancient and she honestly sounds as if she's been playing that fiddle for a hundred lifetimes. CCD is not mechanical, but organic and REAL and these people are true ARTISTS, not just performers. My God, the world needs all of this it can get.

  • @dkerris

    Did you know that when the Scots and Irish started to come to the USA they brought their traditional music (older than the hills of Scotland and Ireland), and they took it with them to the south and the moutains of the Appalacia. This was a huge influence on music in the USA. You can hear it in pieces like this.

  • @thegatlinggang
    @thegatlinggang 10 лет назад +129

    It is disturbing how many people seem to not want to acknowledge the contributions that Black Americans have made to the majority of American styles of music. Like all things American, we have taken bits and pieces from the countries that our families originated from and made it our own. I highly recommend CCDs Sankofa TED talk to anyone who thinks this type of music is un-black (whatever that means). You might learn something new.

    • @lizzyvance
      @lizzyvance 10 лет назад +10

    The sheer beauty in this performance lies within the fusion of styles between early African-American music and European string. CCD captures this element perfectly and Rhiannon shines and exemplifies her true understanding of roots given her heritage. Well done CCD & RG. Thank you for the talent you exude in a society seemingly defunct of it.

    • @iandoyle5017

      Try my old favorite when I lived in the New England area. Until I mover to Florida on 2013.WUMB.org. U-Mass Boston's radio station. 91.9 FM. But Live Streaming on the Internet. People listen from all over the world. They are NPR and specialize in mostly only acoustic music. If it's acoustic music you want and you have an Internet connection, you won't be disappointed.

    Head of these guys reading reviews for an historical fantasy novel set in the south called Redwood and Wildfire. This is song 1 and I'm already pulled in. I'm mystified by tho sort of thing. It doesn't get much media appreciation. No one ever makes movies or tv shows about the ingenuity of Aframericans during the past century. The people who gave birth to so many musical and dance genres the bulk of which became what we known as contemporary music.
