Vontade de Ir para Casa
O diretor Martin Scorcese homenageia o blues do delta. O mĂşsico Corey Harris viaja pelo Mississipi atĂ© o oeste da Ăfrica, explorando as raĂzes da mĂşsica. O filme celebra os primeiros bluesmen do delta com performances originais, incluindo Willie King, Taj Mahal, Otha Turner e Ali Farka Toure, e com imagens de arquivo (Son House, Muddy Waters e John Lee Hooker). Scorcese diz: "Eu sempre senti afinidade com o blues - a cultura de contar histĂłrias atravĂ©s da mĂşsica Ă© incrivelmente fascinante e atraente par mim. O blues tem grande ressonância emocional e Ă© a fundação da mĂşsica popular americana."
