AMERICAN FOLK BLUES FESTIVAL 1981 / VV.AA DVD R
Rare Filmed in Germany & directed by Hans Jurgen Kliebenstein The American Folk Blues Festival (also American Folk-Blues Festival, and AFBF) was a music festival that toured Europe beginning in 1962. German jazz publicist Joachim-Ernst Berendt first had the idea of bringing original African-American blues performers to Europe; Berendt thought that European audiences would flock to concert halls to see them in person. Promoters Horst Lippmann and Fritz Rau brought this idea to reality. By contacting Willie Dixon, an influential blues composer and bassist from Chicago, they were given access to the blues culture of the southern United States. The first festival was held in 1962, and they continued almost annually until 1972, after an eight year hiatus reviving the festival in 1980 until its final performance in 1985.
This extremely rare DVD features fantastic performances by some of the best Chicago Blues players!!!...the video is transferred from VHS tape and the quality is pretty good both audio and video; never circulated commercially nor on the web sites, it's a must have for every blues lover!!!!!
Recorded & filmed in Germany on March 1981
