Traditional music, blues and folk, storytellers and songsters. A century and a half of songs performed by thousands of men and women. Stories that narrate and summarise the lives of its protagonists, the times they have lived through, the sorrows and joys, good and bad times, the hard work of surviving injustice over successive generations. Oral tradition, the sound of their voices and their guitars, the pride of belonging and existing. It's the African-American musical culture that still in the 21st century needs to claim that only equality and justice will allow them to be truly free, through their music and lyrics, the ability to continue transmitting this legacy through a proactive collective and individual attitude. The first names that come to mind, Bo Carter, Leadbelly, Charlie Patton, Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Henry Sims or Son House were bluesmen who sowed the future of a musical genre that has survived to this day. Guy Davis, born in New York in 1952, has been another link in the chain of transmission, an incarnation of the modern bluesman, a guitarist and singer who sings his own songs and keeps others alive that continue to be the foundation that has allowed him to get to this point. Davis has remained faithful to some songs, to a way of performing them, to the emotion of sharing them. He's an atypical guy, far from the spotlight, a researcher and committed, a scientist of musicality who transmits originality as the only and genuine value in his work. Born in the great northern city, his family roots inoculated him with blues music and it has been his magnificence as a musician that has allowed him to have a long and irreplaceable career; few artists have had a significance for blues music like Davis himself. With around twenty albums behind him since 1978, it's necessary to know their work so as not to get lost on secondary roads, in that sense to give due value to the necessary work of Mark Carpentieri and MC Records in the production of their last five albums, an oasis to reflect and congratulate ourselves on the existence of musicians like Guy Davis and music like that contained in "The Legend Of Sugarbelly".
