Ein wirklich interessantes Thema, diese Kolonialisierung/Ausbeutung der schwarzen Musik und der Frauen.

Y #MemphisMinnie que hizo esto cuatros décadas antes de que Led Zeppelin se la quedara...

When all is too much, #Blues still heals and helps me...
When the #levee breaks.

I do not post the #LedZeppelin -Version (which is still eternal for me), because it's quite well known, I guess. Instead an excellent all-female cover from #Zepparella – because, little known: in the original version from 1929 from #KansasJoeMcCoy and #MemphisMinnie a woman, Minnie, plays the guitar! One of the first female electric guitarists!
Down with #patriarchy!
