@titia Sister Rosetta Tharpe even visited Finland in 1964. She was one of the featured artists at the first annual Helsinki Jazz Festival - there's a picture of her here:

The concert was held at Messuhalli, and the list of featured artists is quite astounding:

"An groundbreaking artist who rose to fame as a gospel singer and guitarist in the 1930s, Tharpe famously influenced performers such as Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash."

Bill Haley, criador de Rock Around the Clock, popularizou esse ritmo em todo o mundo, mas o primeiro disco da história tem outro pai e mãe.
Der Rock&Roll wurde von einer queeren schwarzen Frau erfunden. Irgendwann in den 30er Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts, irgendwo in Chicago, im mittleren Westen der USA. Dort wo Frauen, schwarzen Frauen zumal, nur Küche, Kirche und – Sünderinnen allesamt – Nachtclubs und Bars als Lebensraum zugewiesen war. Kein Wunder, dass die Musik auch genau dort ihren […]

Der Wochenrückblick: Langsam finde ich einen Rhythmus, der Blog läuft jetzt etwas mehr als drei Wochen, und ich habe die Struktur schon mindestens eine Woche nicht mehr angefasst. Mir gefällt’s. Es funktioniert alles. Und – das ist besonders schön – die Föderation läuft fast von allein. Über 60 folgende Accounts im Fediverse sind weit mehr als ich in der […]
Das 20. Jahrhundert war das amerikanische Jahrhundert der Menschheitsgeschichte. Und keine Erfindung hat das 20 Jahrhundert mehr geprägt, als Jazz, Blues und Rock&Roll. Vergesst das Internet – das hat seinen Durchbruch als Massenmedium erst im 21. Jahrhundert gefeiert. Vergesst die Atombombe – zu Recht geächtet und hoffentlich irgendwann auch […]

“Victor began a study of Indigenous Australian music, painstakingly written by hand, but this was blown up in a controlled explosion at London Stansted airport in 2003 when Victor left it unattended and it was mistaken for a suspicious package.”

Endlich mal eine Doku über Sister #RosettaTharpe gefunden.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Spirituals In Rhythm / I love to find records like this one in record shops: Never heard of the artist before, great cover art, 10€ and beautiful music (in this case somewhere between gospel, blues and soul). #NowPlaying #RosettaTharpe #Gospel #Blues #Soul @vinylrecords
Sister #RosettaTharpe remains little known in today's #Europe, but she shaped modern #Blues to a considerable amount.
Here's her performance on #Y1964M05D07 at #Manchester's #WilbrahamRoad railway station which was disused then for 10 years. The station is long demolished; it sat next to #AlexandraRoadSouth bridge → https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/225098477
