Join us on a journey to Seattle, Washington, to chat with the incredibly talented Paula Boggs, the creative genius behind Paula Boggs Band.
In this episode, Audio Diaspora dives deep into folk and jazz with Paula. She and her band are on a mission to unravel the rich history of roots instruments, from the banjo to the ukulele, tracing their soulful origins back to Africa. But it’s not just about the music - Paula shares personal stories, like the one behind the song “King Brewster,” that’ll tug at your heartstrings and open your eyes to the legacy of African American musicians.
From surprising ancestral discoveries to the band’s mission of breaking racial barriers through their performances, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and unforgettable moments.
