With it's initial invention in the 1930s, the Electric Guitar drastically began changing the landscape of Blues recordings, and the developments of future genres to come. First patented in 1937, the electric technologies of the new guitar allowed musicians to play amplified melodies rather than just their previous rhythmic/harmonic roles. Artists like "T-Bone" Walker's early recordings would become a foundation for coming generations, including Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Jimi Hendrix, and countless others. This 1960s model Silvertone electric guitar is on display in our "Crossroads" gallery here at the NMAAM. Come by and take a look! #minornotes #NMAAMfinds #OneNationUnderAGroove #Crossroads #blues #electricguitar #musicology

Hip-Hop Meets Bomba Music from Puerto Rico: After hours of cultural and musical exchange, hip-hop artists from Memphis and Afro-Puerto Rican bomba performers will each showcase their music and improvise to blend musical genres. The exchange aims to create new connections between communities in the African Diaspora and break down linguistic and national barriers. Join us alongside Vanderbilt Univeristy on August 31st for an exciting cultural bridge here at the National Museum of African American Music! We hope to see you there. https://lnkd.in/e72dzrRj #onenationunderagroove #hiphopmeetsbomba #nmaam #nmaamfam
