More on the Alan Lomax Film Festival:
"From 1978 to 1985 [American ethnomusicologist and folklorist] Alan Lomax traveled the American South and Southwest with a television crew to document regional folklore with deep historical roots. From the resulting 500 hours of footage Lomax wrote, produced, directed, and narrated five one-hour documentary films focused on African American, Appalachian, and Cajun music and dance.
These five films were broadcast on PBS in 1991 under the title "American Patchwork Series." The series title and the films themselves illustrate Alan Lomax's conviction that "America has a patchwork culture made of the dreams and songs of all its people."
More on the Sonic Ukes & Chico Hula:
