The Rallying Cry of Protest SongsBy James Reed

There is just one thingI can’t understand, my friend.Why some folk think freedomWas not designed for all men.

When Pops Staples wrote those words in 1965, he could never have knownthat they would remain relevant some 50 years later. He likely hoped theywouldn’t. Recorded by the Staple Singers, live in a church and with the quak-ing fervor of a tent revival, “Freedom Highway” rang out as a missive shotstraight from the heart of the civil rights movement.

The song was inspired by 1965’s freedom marches from Selma toMontgomery, Alabama, during which hundreds made the 50-mile trek to rallyfor voting rights for African Americans. Enduring deadly clashes with police,troopers, and angry mobs, they completed their journey on the third attempt.“Freedom Highway” has since become not just an anthem of that historicmoment, but rather a testament to the power of music to document and pre-serve our culture from disparate perspectives.

Swimming in Dark Waters—Other Voices of the American Experience isfirmly aligned with that mission. The performance’s title evokes the notion ofsurvival, of keeping one’s head above water at uncertain times when thatseems impossible. It presents songs—of resistance, of uplift, of heartache—that don’t merely advocate for change: They celebrate it.

Bolstered by her acclaimed debut solo album, last year’s Tomorrow Is MyTurn, Rhiannon Giddens casts a curatorial eye on slavery narratives andbrings them into the 21st century with a fresh perspective. Cellist LeylaMcCalla burrows into the history of Louisiana’s musical traditions and, in a direct link to her lineage, Haitian protest songs. And Bhi Bhiman, raised inSt. Louis as the son of Sri Lankan immigrants, infuses his topical songs withcaustic wit reminiscent of Randy Newman.

Together, this evening’s artists connect the dots across genres and genera-tions, revealing that songs of freedom have deep roots that extend to mod-ern times. Assembled by Giddens, who first made her name with theCarolina Chocolate Drops, the performers are hell-bent on challenging ourcommon assumption of who’s a singer-songwriter and what a protest songshould accomplish.

Be honest: Who comes to mind when you think of a singer-songwriter? Is itBob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, or perhaps James Taylor and Neil Young? Whydon’t we consider Bob Marley, Buffy Sainte-Marie, or even Stevie Wonder

as such? They, too, reflected their times, but through the prism of their expe-rience, their own skin color.

“The idea was to put a show together to talk about the American voice—whatis it and who represents it,” Giddens says. “Well, it’s everybody in America,but we tend to focus on one slice. So this is an attempt to put the focus on adifferent slice. There are a lot of great singer-songwriters of color who don’tget thought about as much as they should.”And what about the protest song?It’s Pete Seeger or Joan Baez leading the masses in a chorus of “We ShallOvercome” or Phil Ochs declaring, “I ain’t marching anymore,” right? (Ochsonce famously quipped, “A protest song is a song that’s so specific that youcannot mistake it for BS.”)

Sure, but it’s also Billie Holiday startling audiences with “Strange Fruit”:“Black bodies swingin’ in the Southern breeze/Strange fruit hangin’ from thepoplar trees.” It’s also Sam Cooke promising that “A Change Is Gonna Come”in 1964, and Marvin Gaye offering proof with “What’s Going On?” that, in fact,hadn’t come by the early 1970s. We’re living in a fertile time for protest music.Last year alone ignited a wave of artists dissecting bitter truths learned inplaces such as Ferguson, Missouri, Baltimore, and Charleston, South Carolina.With jarring frequency, headlines tell of grim realities across the country:police brutality (almost always against black Americans), mass shootings, therise of a presidential candidate who openly calls for banning Muslims fromentering the U.S.

Musicians responded the only way they could—in song. Taken from his widelypraised album “To Pimp a Butterfly,” rapper Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”became a battle cry of the Black Lives Matter movement. “We gon’ bealright,” he assured us, and we believed him. In “Hell You Talmbout,” it tookR&B superstar Janelle Monáe more than six harrowing minutes to recite thenames and thereby honor all the African Americans who were killed orwounded by police last year.

Heartsick about a racially motivated shooting at a South Carolina church,singer-songwriter Peter Mulvey wrote “Take Down Your Flag,” urging thestate to lower the Confederate flag flying at its capitol building; it eventuallydid. Giddens was so devastated in the wake of that same massacre that shealso composed a call to action. With just a hand drum, her resonant voice, anda choir echoing her words, “Cry No More” rattled the rafters of the NorthCarolina church where she filmed the video. “I think we all have something tosay,” Giddens says, “and it’s our responsibility to say it.”

Best known as a member of the Grammy-winning Carolina ChocolateDrops (CCDs), Rhiannon Giddens stole the show at a 2013 concertcurated by T Bone Burnett at New York’s Town Hall. Afterward, Burnettproduced her 2015 solo debut record, Tomorrow Is My Turn, which deftlyincorporates folk, jazz, gospel, and the blues.

Reviving, interpreting, and recasting traditional material from a variety ofsources has been central to Ms. Giddens’s career, especially in hergroundbreaking work with the CCDs. With their two Nonesuch albums,Genuine Negro Jig (2010, Grammy winner) and Leaving Eden (2012), theCCDs have shared the role African-American performers and songwritersplayed in U.S. folk-music history, while making recordings that are vital,contemporary, and exuberant. Iconic choreographer Twyla Tharp was soentranced by their work that she created Cornbread Duet, a dance pieceset to a suite of songs by the CCDs that had its world premiere at theBrooklyn Academy of Music.

Ms. Giddens’s journey, in a larger sense, began in the Piedmont region ofNorth Carolina, where she was raised—an area with a rich legacy of old-time music, black and white, that she would explore in depth after college.While studying opera at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Ms. Giddensbegan to do contra-dance calling on the weekends. At first a playful musi-cal detour, it prefigured the unique course her career would take. She mether original CCDs bandmates at 2005’s Black Banjo Gathering in Boone,North Carolina, and got schooled in the Piedmont’s traditional music byJoe Thompson, an elderly African-American fiddle player who passed onto Ms. Giddens and her cohorts many of the songs that would make uptheir early repertoire.

Ms. McCalla attended Smith College before transferring to New York University,where she studied cello performance and chamber music. She moved to NewOrleans to play cello on the streets of the French Quarter.

The move signaled a journey of musical and cultural discovery, with NewOrleans becoming home for Ms. McCalla. Most recently, she has been explor-ing on cello the fiddling styles of the late Louisiana Creole fiddlers CanrayFontenot and Bébé Carrière. Ms. McCalla’s move to New Orleans also signaleda new stage in her career. It was while playing on the street that she caught theattention of Tim Duffy, the founder and director of the Music Maker ReliefFoundation. He introduced her to the Carolina Chocolate Drops, a renownedAfrican-American string band. After appearing on the band’s Grammy-nominated album Leaving Eden and touring extensively with the group, Ms.McCalla shifted focus to her solo career. Her debut album, Vari-Colored Songs:A Tribute to Langston Hughes, comprises works she composed to Hughes’spoetry, Haitian folk songs, and original pieces.
