Mbirafon presents its new “Blues At Home” CD Collection, with a wide range of artists and documents, that offers research-based, in-depth information to the public worldwide. With a sober and fluent design this new collection answers every demand of the modern blues audience who expect full usability with computers and mobile devices. Every volume has been carefully produced, giving listeners the
all important confidence that the material featured has been recorded in an authentic context. On December 1972, with the help of the legendary harmonica player Hammie Nixon, using a professional portable equipment, I had the chance to start recording blues in Memphis. A series of informal sessions was held during the course of my five trips through Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana, featuring well known, but also little known, and unknown musicians. A collection of tapes and photographs was created and kept in my private archive. In order to preserve these materials I transferred to digital those I thought were best, and by 2013 the 16-volume “Blues At Home” CD Collection was ready for release. All albums are available on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, and CD Baby for digital download.
