#BAM = Black American Music
“The Black American Music Movement is about setting straight what has been knocked out of alignment by mislabeling and marketing strategies.” – Nicholas Payton
Welcome to Bridge City #BAM, where we play music by, and inspired by, Black American Artists.
When given a moment’s thought, this theme reveals itself to be a vast umbrella. In examining the history of American music one finds it has always been pioneered, by and large, by Black culture. Additionally, a consistent pattern exists in which credit and control are taken from Black artists. The hijacked music is minstrelized, commodified and repackaged in order to fit inside the capitalist structure of Western colonial society.
This is not a Jazz show. To paraphrase Nicholas Payton, Jazz is just a four-letter word. Instead we explore a wide variety of Black American Music and in doing so begin to understand the ancestral lineage which connects them.
