Preeminent beatboxmaster Rahzel has redefined the limits of the human voice. The Godfather of Noyze drew crowds at all of his sets at the Montana Folk Festival last summer.

Every 4th of July between 1993 and 2001, the NCTA,

Every 4th of July between 1993 and 2001, the NCTA, @nationalparkservice, and Nick Spitzer of @americanroutes proudly presented “American Roots Independence Day,” an annual concert live from the Washington Monument. This Saturday, we invite you to tune in to "Musical Stars & Cultural Stripes: An American Routes Independence Day,” for a special, socially-distanced, 4th of July broadcast featuring highlights from the NCTA archives.

Celebrate with stirring gospel and soul from the Staples Singers, infectious Latin jazz from Tito Puente's Big Band, classic bluegrass from the Johnson Mountain Boys, and the inimitable sounds of New Orleans from the Original Tuxedo Brass Band.You’ll hear the roots of the hill country blues in the music of Otha Turner’s Rising Star Fife & Drum Band, traditional women’s songs from the Akwesasne Mohawk Singers, blues and boogie woogie from Marcia Ball, and rockin’ Cajun music from Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys. Listen in at http://americanroutes.wwno.org/ or your local NPR station.

Crank up the radio while you fire up the grill, and join us in celebrating our nation’s many cultures and traditions. All of us here at the NCTA wish you a safe and happy 4th of July!

The connection between Petroloukas Halkias and Vas

The connection between Petroloukas Halkias and Vasilis Kostas rings across their generations, and it was evident in all of their performances at the Richmond Folk Festival. Halkias is a living legend and master of the clarinet, and a keeper of the musical traditions of Epirus. Kostas represents the next generation brought up in this tradition and is a groundbreaking performer, adapting the complex melodic lines of the clarinet to his instrument, the fretted laouto, transforming it into a solo instrument.
