Grammy-winning folk and roots musician Rhiannon Giddens joins historian and author Kristina R. Gaddy to present their joint book »Go Back and Fetch It«. In this unique collaboration, the two authors bring lost chapters of music history back to life: they present examples of early Black Atlantic Music, created between 1687 and the 1860s – music of the African diaspora that found its way to North America via the Caribbean.
