A long song that's one and more than one, this collection takes its title from two related black musical traditions, a West African griot epic as told by the Fasa, a clan in ancient Ghana, and trumpeter Kenny Dorham's hard bop classic \"Blue Bossa,\" influenced by the emergence of Brazilian bossa nova. The book opens with \u003cem\u003ethe catch of the heart and the call of romance\u003c\/em\u003e, as it follows a band of travelers, refugees from history, on their incessant migrations through time, place, and polity toward a truer sense of being and belonging.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mackey, Nathaniel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780811224451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Nathaniel Mackey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39372807307339,"sku":"9780811224451","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_c3011294-d1ce-4779-be15-468ccb0fae7e.jpg?v=1621929163","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/blue-fasa-9780811224451","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
