Armchair Travel 2013
The debut post for BlackPast.org Blog was July 1, 2012. Happy
Anniversary! There has been a variety of topics covered, some more
popular than others, thoughtful comments, and positive feedback.
Last August, one of the posts (Thinking of Travel: Armchair and Otherwise)
explored how to get the most out of travel planning by using fiction to
get ideas, learn about a place, or get lost in imagining a vacation in a
place and culture whose physical geography may be out of reach. The
topic of armchair travel will be revisited in this post by going on a
musical excursion. Music of another place, music in a place we know,
music of the diaspora. Any of these categories will be an expedition to
people and places worth listening to, reading about, or even planning a
trip of a lifetime. Clearly, this list will not be all-encompassing and
complete. It is meant to start the reader's own journey of research.
Please feel free to add lists, ideas, favorite musicians in the comment
section.
