ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
Falling somewhere between documentary, master-class and live concert, this film presented in a very successful hybrid form (re)plunges us into a page in the history of music in the United States directly linked to emancipation and the fight against discrimination-a story intimately linked to the contemporary bluesman Eric Bibb.
In an elegant and uncluttered setting, the talented Eric Bibb tells us (and sings to us) the history of the blues, and more broadly of these great songwriters engaged in the fight for civil rights, in the beautiful setting of Gothenburg’s Stora Theater. If you do not know this excellent singer/guitarist already responsible for twenty albums, dozens of collaborations, and hundreds of concerts around the world, we can only invite you to immerse yourself in the beautiful story of this blues brother, which obviously has nothing to do with the famous movie about the brothers in dark glasses.
Because woven into the filigree of the songs interpreted (from Leadbelly to James Oden as well as his own compositions), it is Bibb's own story that unfolds. That of a little guy from Queens, NYC who evolves in a comfortable family environment with rare intellectual and artistic stimulation. The son of a singer-actor/activist and an educator, Eric Bibb was the godson of gospel singer Paul Robeson, while Odetta and Josh White were close friends of his parents. The story goes that at the grand age of 11 he even received some valuable advice from a certain Bob Dylan.
Travels, meetings, personal memories or painful ordeals, without pretense but fond of sharing his experiences, anecdotes and musical influences, Eric Bibb delivers himself with an open heart-whole, human and with his guitar on his knees. It becomes clear over the course of the film that he is, in fact, a true blues brother.
