PRESENTATION OF DRAFT

musicians from the group BLUES PROJECT (lecture-concerts on the history of the blues), offer interventions for elementary students and secondary schools.

History of the Blues: African roots, slavery, the slave trade, the Mississippi Delta. Using various audio documents, photos, translations of texts, films of the era, from the archives of Rick Prelinger, we propose a journey from the shores of Africa to the Americas.
Indeed, plundered and confined in the Captives waiting to be loaded on ships that carry out the triangular trade, Africans were crammed into the hold, in atrocious conditions. Here begins the cultural mix, many African ethnic groups have neither the same language, nor the same social codes, or the same rituals. It will take those first generations of slaves, torn from their homeland, learn to live together, understand and share.
the Americas is the cotton industry, which concentrates in the southern United States the largest populations black slaves. Therein lies gradually original musical form. Culture and history, permanently entangled with each other, mark over the different time course changes of the blues, through the human drama of a people comes to racism, segregation and hatred .. .
Later, with successive generations born on American soil, an African American nation will gradually find its own identity. A nation with a new culture of eating and ancestral memories of all the influences residing on American soil. So that, over time, through the upheavals Cultural constant stirring songs of ancestral Africa, shouts, work-songs, spirituals, folk Irish hill-billy, Indian music and many others, will rise to the Blues.
In the 50s the civil rights struggle will see many bluesmen engage in the wake of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King and others, while the Klu Klux Klan version embodies the worst of the refusal to see American society change.
The Afro-American music will evolve to other forms rythm'n'blues, soul, funk, and rap, while the 60 white musicians in London's British Blues Boom rediscovering the Blues across groups and artists such as John Mayall, The Cream, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones ...

Our multidisciplinary project aims and is therefore a logical learning cross:

Thus in a process of discovering the world, students become aware of the existence of other eras, will discover deep space, in this case, Africa, the United States, in a chronological range between the Great Discoveries and the time Contemporary. A focus will be specified geographical and chronological. Similarly
from photographs, films, sound recordings and students cover the diversity of backgrounds and lifestyles (housing, food, clothing, transportation), highlighting similarities and differences. Thus the fate of the black population, the inhuman conditions of transport in ships, work in the cotton fields, the condition of slavery (Black Code), the original culture built by African-Americans through the assimilation of existing materials combined with African roots.
approach of artistic works which are essential in the musicology of the twentieth century will enable students to enrich their cultural references in the relevant fields. Artists such as Willie Dixon, Robert Johnson, Lightin'Hopkins, John Lee Hooker are now "classics" essential for anyone wishing to understand the evolution of black music to the American rappers today.

Under the musical awakening knowledge of a directory using the songs of World Heritage is an important phase of the didactic approach: it is an indispensable means to discover the diversity of musical expression. Songs like "Down in Mississippi or Slavery Time standards are essential as well as primary evidence of having historical or sociological.
Furthermore, listening to music or works performed live at school, or better, in places of work brings together leading a classroom size and supplements irreplaceable. Perceptions become more accurate and significant when we see who plays when, how.
instrumental practices can be integrated with listening, or projects under construction. Percussion instruments such as Djembe, Darbuka, Shakers can be an intervention or a cycle of interventions.

FIND A LANGUAGE SCHOOL: ENGLISH
To introduce students to the otherness and the linguistic and cultural diversity is part of our approach. : Blues and / or spirituals like "John the Revelator (Son House) are perfectly suited to memorize simple songs based on imitation of rhythms played by a tambourine accompanying example sentences heard.
it will be possible to acquire a simple vocabulary in context and carries a strong sense.
