@skankystupidbitch I believe you're right. I'm not an academic, but as a sound engineer, I did get to "digitise" a collection of Library of Congress tape recordings here in Australia. A field holler was a solo call from one slave, to identity their position... geographically... plus whatever they could pass on... my own conjecture, but wouldn't you?

cette vidéo est extraite d'un documentaire, validé par des experts et historiens: "Genesis of Jazz"
J'y montre comment les esclaves ont, dès le départ, réinventé un langage au delà de leurs différents dialectes originaux. Il s'agissait de simples cris et appels ( hollers in English) au travers des champs de coton (fields). Ces "chants" étaient collectifs , improvisés, et repris selon le principe du "call and response" . Plus tard,structurés, ils deviendront les work songs.

The musical example is of a work song, not a field holler - different things, different purposes. The field holy is 'sung' solo. Just in case someone leaves this video with the wrong impression, that's all.

"Arkred",............... playing/singing behind the beat is what African American music is all about rhythmically.

Must have a white guy in there, because one guy is a little behind the beat. Nice stuff. Merci beaucoup.

Call and response, a blues base, the call, the hoe hitting, the response the singing. The same way blues songs are written,between guitar and vocals. The guitar calls the voice responds. Rythem used in a chain gang to keep in time on short chains.

OK, I'll try it in French ...
Est-ce que c'est possible de nous dire les titres du CD ou nous pouvons les entendre? Il faut bien trouver les enregistrements parce que je voudrais les utiliser et acheter!
Sorry if my French is bad ... but I'd love to have the CD titles!
