中文注释:在安哥拉(美国仅有的几处仍手工采摘棉花的地方之一)的路易斯安那州立监狱中,囚犯们正在摘棉花,他们就是布鲁斯音乐的创始者。布鲁斯起源于南部的棉花地里,那里的奴隶们通过歌唱阻止蓝色魔鬼的到来。这些田野歌曲的节奏后来逐渐转变为现在布鲁斯的曲式结构。图片为《国家地理杂志》1999年4月号的“游览布鲁斯之路”一文而拍摄,未刊发,图文据此文改编 作者: William Albert Allard
棉花 安哥拉 路易斯安那州 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Cotton Pick, Angola, Louisiana, 1999Picking cotton at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola (one of the few places in the U.S. where cotton is still picked by hand), these convicts evoke blues music's ancestry. The roots of the blues are in the cotton fields of the South where slaves would sing to keep the blue devils at bay. The cadence of those field songs later came to shape the musical structure of today's blues.
