"THE BLUES" --- 7th and final get-together (SUNDAY FEB 20, 2005)
Announcing the SEVENTH of the seven-part series titled "THE BLUES" - executive produced by Martin Scorsese...
"THE BLUES" is a set of personal and impressionistic presentations by seven world-renowned directors who share a passion for the music. They capture the essence of blues music and delve into its global influence -- from its roots in Africa to its inspirational role in today's music...
In the seventh (and FINAL!) segment, "THE SOUL OF A MAN" (2 hours and 7 minutes per the DVD jacket), German director WIM WENDERS looks at the dramatic tension in the blues between the sacred and the profane by exploring the music and lives of three of his favorite blues artists: Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson and J. B. Lenoir.
Part history, part personal pilgrimage, the film tells the story of these lives in music through an extended fictional sequence, rare archival footage and present-day documentary scenes. There are also many songs by contemporary artists like Shemekia Copeland, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Eagle-eye Cherry, Bonnie Raitt, T Bone Burnett and a host of others.
This event is organized and coordinated by PeeDee-DesNaz and the venue will be arranged by Ernesto at Club Vasco Da Gama, Panjim, on SUNDAY, 20th FEBRUARY, 2005. We will start at 8:00 PM, sharp.
Special treat: Those who boogie in earlier (around 7:30pm) will be treated to some full-length performances that are not seen in the feature presentation.
POSSIBLE EXTRA TREAT: After the main presentation, all blues players in Goa who would like to jam are invited and encouraged to do so... please tell your friends who do 'bluesy stuff' to come equipped...
