Gaye Adegbalola: Blues, Identity & Liberation | Ep. 140

United States
Written By Erick Taylor Woodby
 

Our Black Gay Diaspora host Erick converses with Gaye Adegbalola — blues singer, guitarist, activist, educator, and co-founder of the legendary acoustic blues trio Saffire – The Uppity Blues Women. Gaye, a W.C. Handy Award winner and civil rights veteran, unpacks how blues music has always been a music of liberation — the “poor person’s psychiatrist.” This conversation weaves together race, class, gender, sexuality, and resilience. Gaye also reflects on her international touring career and her role as a griot preserving oral history. A rich, soulful, and eye-opening episode for blues lovers, LGBTQ+ history enthusiasts, and anyone who believes storytelling can change the world.
