I never really like this music as a black man. Now I'm making it my business to learn eveything about her. She's made me proud of our shared heritage. Her ablilty to bring people together thru music, there's no telling how far she and her music can bring us.
Have to say, thank you Beyonce for creating the controversy that led me to discover Rhiannon Giddens. As a part indigenous woman myself, also a musician, it is wonderful to learn this history. It seems the worst and the best of us has been hidden for so long. Imagine all the self worth never known because we looked out and saw no reflection of ourselves. The good news is this generation and generations to come will. Thank you, Rhiannon.
Thanks for this episode. I definitely appreciate every learning experience. Rhiannon Giddens is her authentic self and I'm glad she shares her gift with us.
Great to hear the true history of the banjo and Rhiannon giving a voice to those who earned the right be acknowledged and be remembered in music history so beautifully...big shout out from Ireland!
In her unique way, through her music, Rhiannon captures the appreciation and love for those who came before us and helped pave the way for a brighter future for mankind.
I love this ladies' music and passion. Her contributions are huge and I've got almost all her recording. I will push back a bit though. As a retired 8th grade history teacher in North Carolina I can assure you that the 1898 Wilmington Coup is taught in NC public schools. It has been in the Standard Course of Study for at least 50 years if not longer. Granted it was originally called the "1898 Wilmington Race Riot" but we always taught how it was a coup as part of effort to end cooperation between whites and blacks in what was known as the Fusionist movement and the beginning of Jim Crow for the next 70 years. So there hasn't been a covering up of this aspect of history. I taught it for 30+ years.
Love everything Rhiannon does - brilliant lady, phenom artist, person. Margaret Hoover superb as well - even when I'm quite familiar with people she interviews, eg., Rhiannon, Yo Yo Ma..I always learn something from her informed questions - contrast with the demented, loony, imbecile barbies at FOX. On a peripheral note, The Chieftains (minus the late Paddy Maloney) performed for Biden at the Ballina event. - I was delighted to find an upload on YT Rhiannon performing with The Chieftains a longtime ago. It would have been lovely if she had joined them for Biden but I assume she's not in Ireland presently.
What an incredibly gifted and intelligent musician. Oberlin Conservatory, unable to read music? I studied a musical instrument with a member of the Cleveland Orchestra who used to say: "If you ain't got no talent, it's for a long time." The converse is true as exemplified by this extremely talented musician
She has a PBS NC show called "My Music" that interviews and performs music from a variety of artists. The last one I saw was with Charly Lowry who is Lumbee from Roberson County NC.

I've had a schoolboy crush her for years. I love her music, and I think she is utterly fantastic as a person.
Every time I hear this wonderful young woman perform I cannot keep my cheeks dry.
I feel like I just watched a "Master Class". Giddens is so awesome!

Google the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Check out her music with that group.

Whatever the word is that describes “beyond talented”, she truly embodies it.
Highly skilled
The interviewer prepared very well for this interview.

Margaret Hoover can go to **** ... last year she endorsed the idea of mandating the experimental VAX for social security recipients ...
I find Rhiannon Giddens a real musical gem.
She will be someday be recognized as a national treasure ...
I believe she already is!
Very good brief synopsis of a deep and passionate human being

Even today? Keep it up!

She is the Class Act.
We love you and the Music
Pete Seeger would have approved.
That song inspired by a slave was some powerful shit.
Keep doing what you DO
WTF, how do you cut her last song like that?
She doesn't so much cross the barriers of musical genres as evaporate them.
does she play native american music?

Wow
