Black History Month: Joy Dunlop in conversation with Angeline Morrison
Joy Dunlop is joined by Cornwall-based folk singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Angeline Morrison to debut her new album Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience
The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience is the upcoming record by Cornwall-based folk singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Angeline Morrison.
The traditional songs of the UK are rich with storytelling, and you can find songs with examples of almost any kind of situation or person you can think of. But whilst people of the African diaspora have been present in these islands since at least Roman times, their histories are little known - and these histories don鈥檛 tend to appear in the folk songs of these islands. Angeline began to wonder if she could discover more about the lives of these ordinary and extraordinary Black ancestors, and create an album of songs in the sonic style of UK folk and traditional music, in the hope that this silent space could then begin to be filled with stories.
Releasing to commemorate Black History Month, this record is intended to honour these Black ancestors who lived in these islands. Angeline joins Joy Dunlop in studio to debut these powerful songs.
