American Epic: Part 3 - Out of the Many, the One (2017x4)

Data de estreia: Jun 04, 2017

Series telling the stories of the pioneers of American roots music. The third episode takes a look at the influence of Hawaiian music and, more specifically, the steel guitar, which became a central sound to a range of musical styles. The programme continues with an exploration of Cajun music, the blended music of Louisiana that reflects the winding landscape of the bayous. Finally we hear the story of Mississippi John Hurt - discovered in the 1920s but soon forgotten, he represents the odyssey of American Epic in microcosm.
