***** How do you think that happened? He was not from the South or the Caribbean Islands.*****
Any competent musician can play in the blues style. He listened to Tapes and LPs of American Blues players? He was born in 1939, so I think we can eliminate him as being the creator of the blues.
If your point is to say that Africa is the birth place of the Blues, if that is so, where are all the African Blues players? The tradition? The body of work?
I have a couple of his CDs. His music is interesting and in some cases almost hypnotic. Like a lot of third world music, a little of him goes a long way.
Africa's contribution to the world, is limited to long distance runners, EBOLA and AIDS.
Cheers
