Otis Taylor '10 Million Slaves' #studiolive

"Le banjo est arrivé d'Afrique en navires négriers [aux États-Unis]. Les esclaves ont joué pour Thomas Jefferson et faisaient des minstrel shows. Ils jouaient du Blues."

Le charismatique chanteur et guitariste de Blues, Otis Taylor, cultive sa différence. Le son est obsédant, inclassable et intemporel, tout en rythmiques hypnotiques, le chantre du "Transe blues" évoque le passé mais son propos est bien actuel.

Otis Taylor : voix, guitare, banjo
Nick Amodeo : basse
Byron Cage : batterie
Kit Massey : violon

Réalisation : Melike Balci / Prise de son : Inès de Bruyn & Nicolas Delmas

Rain and fire crossed that ocean
La pluie et le feu a traversé cet océan
Another mad man done struck again
Un autre fou fait encore frappé
Rain and fire crossed that ocean
La pluie et le feu a traversé cet océan
Another mad man done struck again
Un autre fou fait encore frappé

Sitting down here fallout shelter
Assis ici abri antiatomique
Paint my walls, twice a week
Peindre mes murs, deux fois par semaine
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Assis ici abri antiatomique
Think about the slaves, long time ago
Pensez aux esclaves, il ya longtemps

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
Dix millions d'esclaves qui a traversé l'océan
They had shackles on Their Legs
Ils avaient entraves sur leurs pattes
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
Dix millions d'esclaves qui a traversé l'océan
They had Shackles on Their Legs
Ils avaient Manilles sur leurs pattes

Don't know where, where they're going
Je ne sais pas où, où ils vont
Don't know where, where they've been
Je ne sais pas où, où ils ont été
Don't know where, where they're going
Je ne sais pas où, où ils vont
Don't know where, where they've been
Je ne sais pas où, où ils ont été

Sun goes out, you'll be standing
Soleil va sortir, vous serez debout
You'll be standing by yourself
Vous serez debout par vous-même
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
Soleil va sortir, vous serez debout
You'll be standing by yourself
Vous serez debout par vous-même

Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
Dix millions d'esclaves qui a traversé l'océan
They Had Shackles on their legs
Ils avaient Manilles sur leurs pattes
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
Dix millions d'esclaves qui a traversé l'océan
They had shackles on their legs
Ils avaient chaînes sur leurs jambes

Don't know where, where they're going
Je ne sais pas où, où ils vont
Don't know where, where they've been
Je ne sais pas où, où ils ont été
Don't know where, where they're going
Je ne sais pas où, où ils vont
Don't know where, where they've been
Je ne sais pas où, où ils ont été

Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
Dix millions d'esclaves traversé cet océan
They had shackles on their legs
Ils avaient chaînes sur leurs jambes
Food goes bad, food looks Rancid
Alimentaire va mal, la nourriture semble Rancid
But they ate it anyway
Mais ils l'ont mangé toute façon

Don't know where, where they're going
Je ne sais pas où, où ils vont
Don't know where, where they’ve been
Je ne sais pas où, où ils ont été
Don't know where, where they're going
Je ne sais pas où, où ils vont
Don't know where, where they've been
Je ne sais pas où, où ils ont été

Sun goes out, you'll be standing
Soleil va sortir, vous serez debout
You'll be standing all alone
Vous serez debout tout seul
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
Soleil va sortir, vous serez debout
You'll be standing all alone
Vous serez debout tout seul
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone...
Tout seul, tout seul, tout seul, tout seul, tout seul ...

Watching Public Enemies years after its release because of the Johnny Depp trial, nice. Discovering this epic song in the process and the talent of Mr. Otis Taylor, PRICELESS!!

Beautiful performance of beautiful brown afroamerican musician...John Lee Hooker smiles and bows on you from heaven, Otis !

[garycrispens]

This song really set the tone for the movie when “Pretty Boy” Charles Floyd is running through the orchard being chased by Melvin Purvis. I also loved it when it came back later in the movie. What a powerful song.

otis...your awsome... --- Love your music✌️✌️✌️

[ProfesserLuigi]

I was never able to get a good look at his fingers. I now see that he does the muted strum by doing an up-strum with the flesh of his finger. Never even thought of doing something like that. I might just have to use that in the future. Excellent banjo player.

[tobiasstapf]

Music from soul, music with heart! Great!

[colinackles]
