Alan LewisRHYTHM AND ROOTS FESTIVAL
AUGUST 30 - SEPTEMBER 1, 2024
Mastodon Post
The lineup for the August/September Rhythm and Roots Festival has been announced. It appears in the attached image.
Top billed are Emmylou Harris and the Old Crow Medicine Show.
Next down are the Drive-By Truckers, Larkin Poe, Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country, Ruthie Foster, Shemekia Copeland, Will Evans, and Julia Pratt.
Beyond name recognition, I have no real background with any of the acts in the third group, with the notable exception of Rose and the Bros, who Bandcamp says is out of Ithaca, New York. The folks at Rhythm and Roots say, "Rose & The Bros are a powerhouse ensemble specializing in irresistible Zydeco and Cajun dance grooves, resonating with sweet vocal harmonies and crooning country roots." The band is good too.

**~ Until recently, Kouri-Vini was disparaged as an inferior language spoken by the uneducated. "Most of society's opinions about languages and language varieties are actually opinions about the people who speak them," said Marguerite Justus, a linguist and Community Development Specialist at CODOFIL (Council for the Development of French in Louisiana). "If the people who speak a certain language or dialect are perceived as low status, then we are inclined to perceive their way of speaking as low status."
Since Kouri-Vini was traditionally passed down orally, there are challenges to writing the language. There wasn't a comprehensive approach until the Guide to Louisiana Creole #Orthography was published online in 2016.
'The self-proclaimed language activist Taalib Auguste wrote a #book in Kouri-Vini called Koushma (Nightmare), inspired by the story of an enslaved man he heard from his grandparents.'
