Join Kelvin Huggins as he explores October 19th through the lens of blues history.
- October 19th tells a story of struggle, resilience, and cultural impact through the lens of the blues. In this episode, we reflect on the passing of Delta legend Son House, the economic shock of Black Monday, the American Negro Blues Festival’s arrival in Britain, and Paul Robeson’s landmark performance in Othello. Together, these events reveal the blues as more than music—a living chronicle of hardship, survival, and artistic resistance that continues to shape our world.
