La collection AMERICA est une fenêtre ouverte sur la musique américaine du XXe siècle. Avec le Gospel, le Blues et le Jazz, le peuple noir offrait au monde le socle à partir duquel allait s’ édifier la plupart des categories de la musique occidentale: Rhythm & Blues, Soul Music, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Funk, Rap … Chacune de nos anthologies (de 2 disques).

The AMERICA collection offers a glimpse into 20th century American music. With Gospel, Blues and Jazz, black people provided the world the foundations on which most types of Western music – Rhythm & Blues, Soul Music, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Funk, Rap – were to be developed. Each of our (2 CD) anthologies gets to the very heart of these categories and discusses their origins, their reasoning and their development.
