Various - Voodoo Blues - Hoodoo & Magical Pratices (2009)

‘Hoodoo’ was the particular form adopted by the practise of magic in the heart of the Black American community, and references to it abound in the blues. This should come as no surprise: the blues, an art form in the oral tradition, was at some point bound to come into contact with another, powerful form of oral exchanges, a form which had been handing down beliefs, superstitions and miraculous remedies from time immemorial… Indeed, it was a concept that could only make sense to a black listener, and be part of the connivance that constitutes the very essence of the blues, one of the symbols of the cohesion of this group.
