Charley Patton was the "grandfather of Delta blues," a true legend--and part-Native American. He was a profound influence on blues musicians over the years as well as Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Jack White, Bonnie Raitt, and many others. You can hear the Native music influence in his sound. Learn more about him in this clip from RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World.
Taboo's Native Roots | RUMBLE
S20 E8 - 59s
"I grew up understanding my Mexican roots more than my Native roots," says Black Eyed Peas' rapper/singer/songwriter Taboo in this clip from the Independent Lens film RUMBLE. He learned about the other side of his heritage from his Shoshone grandmother, which helped him appreciate how his style was influenced by the whole mix.
