Host Ken Candelas invites director Dan Grigsby and director of photography Valerie Barnes onto the Metal Mastermind Podcast to discuss their upcoming documentary on the origins of the blues, and therefore metal music! Summary:I Feel Blue (Nita'ikkihinii' taki) is a powerful and slightly controversial documentary that tells a story that links Native American and mixed-race African-Native American musicians in the formation of the Blues and Jazz. Examining the shared experience that brought Native American and African American musical expressions together exposes the unreported historical parallels between these two colonially oppressed cultures. Through interviews, unscripted conversations, and live performances with accomplished Native American & mixed race African-Native American musicians, viewers learn about another potent form of contemporary racism, the “invisibilization” of First Nations Peoples and their contributions to American culture. To affirm the rich and meaningful contributions made by First Nations Peoples to American cultural development not only sets the record straight but provides a much-needed sense of hope for future generations of Native Americans.
