Headhunters

Message par soft »

l'origine du nom du groupe autour de Hancock: interessant, une fois.

In the 1920s there was a tune called Headhunter's Dream. Of course that's a code for looking for sex but it also indicated that the band was Black. That was a prevalent theme about Jungle Music. And that of course was eventually considered offensive by African Americans - they got a Betty Boop cartoon banned in which she's being chased by African natives while Louis Armstrong sings I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You.
And in modern, enlightened times, here's Herbie bringing back the Jungle to the music. He puts the Africa back in African American.
