Beschreibung

"Barbara Dane's memoir charts her trajectory from singing in union halls and at factory gates in World War II-era Detroit, to her ascendancy as a central figure in the Bay Area's blues and jazz scenes, to her prominence as a folk musician frequently decorating the bills of civil rights and peace demonstrations across America and in countries from Cuba to Vietnam"--

Autor

Barbara Dane, born in 1927, is an American folk, blues, and jazz singer-songwriter. She was prominent in the movements for peace and justice as the struggle for civil rights spread and opposition to the Vietnam War mounted, singing at demonstrations throughout the United States and all over the world. In 1966 she became the first US musician to tour post-revolutionary Cuba. By the early 1970s Dane had started Paredon Records with her husband, the late Irwin Silber, in their adopted hometown of Oakland, California. Specializing in international protest music, she produced fifty albums, including three of her own. The label is now part of Smithsonian Folkways. Dane is the recipient of numerous honors, and the New York Times featured a full-page profile of her in 2021. Bob Dylan said of her: “The world needs more people like Barbara, someone who is willing to follow her conscience. She is, if the term must be used, a hero.”
