Introduction to the centennial journey of blues music

Musical Journey is called "The Year of Blues" by the US Congress. In order to commemorate the contribution of this art form to American culture and even the world music, the United States held various celebrations, and the "Hundred Years of Blues" documentary series led by Martin Scorsese was one of the major events. He joined a group of world-class directors to engrave the track of blues on the screen and pay tribute to their favorite music!

As early as 1997, this large-scale series project called "Centennial Blues" was jointly produced by seven famous directors, including Clint Eastwood, Wim Wenders, Richard Pearce, Charles Burnett and Mark, to show the charm of this "most physical music".

in the United States, the DVD set of this documentary was released in autumn, and immediately occupied the first place in the sales list of Amazon's documentary series.

In early p>214, this documentary began to be shown in France. On May 6th, Wenders's "Soul of Man's Music" premiered in Germany, which opened the curtain for the series to be released in Germany. In Europe, which has always been more tolerant of documentaries, fans and fans are fortunate to be able to go back to the blues with Scorsese in the cinema. Next, Richard Pierce's "The Road to Memphis" and West Corseth's "The Feeling of Going Home" will be the finale of Eastwood's "Piano Blues". In addition, [Lightning in a Bottle], which is also the executive producer of Sikorses, has met the audience at the Berlin Film Festival in early 214.

"Blues are American and world-wide." Sikorses said, "As a worldwide narrative language, blues brings inspiration to people all over the world, and constantly influences music all over the world. We hope this series will attract

more listeners around the world to pay attention to this kind of music. At the same time, we also hope that children who are fascinated by rock and hip-hop can have a better understanding of the unknown struggles and talented people behind these music. " "We are definitely not trying to define' blues'," he added. "It is our original intention to make personalized and impressionist films through the perspective of the most creative directors with their incomparable enthusiasm for blues."

Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, Wim Wenders and other movie master pay tribute to blues music!

from rock to jazz, from r&; B to hip-hop, all kinds of modern pop music are related to the blues.

in p>214, rock music turned 5 years old, and as a pioneer of rock music, Blues (that is, blues music) celebrated its centenary in a relatively low-key way last year-the US Congress called last year "the year of blues".
