All of us have something to say, but some are never heard...
Over seven years ago the people of Watts stood together and demanded to be heard.
On a Sunday, this past August, in the Los Angeles Coliseum, over one hundred thousand Black people came together to commemorate that moment in American history.
For over six hours, the audience
heard, felt, sang, danced and shouted the living word, in a soulful expression of the Black experience.
This is the music of that experience."Wattstax Complete Concert" on CD is a remarkable audio document capturing the legendary 1972 Wattstax music festival, often referred to as the "Black Woodstock." This collection features an electrifying mix of soul, funk, gospel, and R&B performances from some of the most influential artists of the era. The album transports listeners back to Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where over 100,000 people gathered for a celebration of African-American culture and music. With its diverse tracklist curated by various artists (V/A), this release offers both timeless classics and rare live renditions that showcase the power and spirit of Stax Records' roster. Concord Jazz, renowned for their commitment to high-quality jazz and soul releases since their founding in 1973, brings this historic event vividly to life with pristine sound quality and meticulous production values. | | | No. of tracks: |
