Die Grammy-prämierte Folk- und Roots-Musikerin Rhiannon Giddens trifft auf die Historikerin und Autorin Kristina R. Gaddy, um ihr gemeinsames Buch »Go Back and Fetch It« vorzustellen. In dieser einzigartigen Zusammenarbeit machen die beiden Autorinnen verloren geglaubte Kapitel der Musikgeschichte wieder hörbar: Sie präsentieren Beispiele früher Black Atlantic Music, entstanden zwischen 1687 und den 1860er-Jahren – Musik der afrikanischen Diaspora, die über die Karibik nach Nordamerika fand.

Mit modernen Notationen, lebendigen Essays und fundierter historischer Recherche erschließen Giddens und Gaddy faszinierende Zusammenhänge zwischen den musikalischen Traditionen der Diaspora und den Ursprüngen von Country, Old-Time, Bluegrass und der Populärmusik des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das Buch lädt Musiker:innen, Musikliebhaber:innen und Geschichtsinteressierte gleichermaßen dazu ein, diese vielseitigen Klangwelten neu zu entdecken.
