The (Drum) for an African, is more than the sum of its parts/polyrhythms. The Drum is the epistemological language in and through the "call and response" happens. Only in America through slavery, that "particular institution", did Blues come about. Blues is from God! A gift to us, to deny the (lie) of our nothingness. When they "took away the drum", they de-Africanizated the African. And only in America was this so complete. Out of that vacuum came Blues, to make sense of the insanity. MMR

Mo Rodgers is really a guru when it comes to his infinite knowlege of the blues roots and it's origins, as well as the composing of its musical form called soul music. He makes some very interesting mystical connections with the ancestors tribal voice and the "Holy Howl" which comes from the black void and is birthed from the silence of the missing drums. The drums that were taken away from the African slaves when they were Christianized, that's how the "Blues" were born as an American art form.

Bro like the whiole thing...Most folks will mis it, lose...redisdover it..and don't want to admit it..
You and Gil Scott Heron and Taj Mahal or my mentors in the BLUES.... I serious believe your are keeping the Blues real where others will not speak truth to power. Which means what you do do not get played on current radio..
Thanks to youtube and Living Blues Magazine...
