Beats and Improvisations by Six Boys in Trouble

New York: Folkways, 1959. Serial: FD 5589. Includes booklet. Record is VG+. Cover is VG. Item #4802

This album features music by young, untrained musicians. Six 11- and 12-year-old African American boys living in New York City public housing around 1955 were recorded using voice and homemade percussive instruments. Entirely voice and drum, the music recalls folk traditions of American music.
