A musical journey that traces an original American art form from from its origins with the enslaved Africans' arrival in the United States to the popular R&B sound we claim today. The show has nearly 50 musical numbers, including African chants, work songs sung a capella, the distinctive nasal twang of Appalachian blues, Spirituals, Delta Blues, and the Urban blues of Chicago and Kansas City. Together they tell a saga of pain, pride, passion, and exhilaration. The power of this influential music has endured the test of time, and will remain with you throughout the holidays and beyond. Don't miss it!
