From the <strong>Black Africa<\/strong> to the <strong>New World<\/strong>, from <strong>Louisiana<\/strong> to <strong>Chicago<\/strong>, and through radio waves across the globe, this inspired fusion of traditional sounds and rhythms originally derived from the standard <strong>Blue Note<\/strong> ended up becoming \u201c<em>a universal communication code<\/em>\u201d, says <strong>Richard White<\/strong>. White, an American plastic artist and guitarist, runs the <strong>International Blues Music Festival of Tarragona<\/strong>, an event designed to spread the city\u2019s melancholic beauty.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tarragona<\/strong>, melting pot for a number of civilisations throughout history, is the perfect port to understand the cultural fusion around the Mediterranean area. On the other hand, <strong>blues<\/strong> also suggests a journey to the essence of the <strong>United States of America<\/strong>, the most influential country in the world. These are two different points of view, at both sides of the Atlantic, around the identity of the contemporary world that juxtapose creating harmony at the <strong>International Blues Music Festival of Tarragona<\/strong>. By means of a simple structure, formed by 12 bars, \u201c<em>blues lets you go deeper into human condition<\/em>\u201d, explains <strong>White<\/strong>. The style that made <strong>B.B. King<\/strong> or <strong>Muddy Water<\/strong> rise to fame evokes several different moods, connecting millions of people, as well as the nostalgic character of a city with a glorious past. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Richard White<\/strong>, who was born in <strong>Philadelphia<\/strong>, in the northeast of the USA, felt the pentatonic sting of blues at the age of six, while still at school. From then on, it became his passion. He lived in the birthplace of the gender, <strong>New Orleans<\/strong>, and had the opportunity to meet living legends such as the producer <strong>Casimo Matassis<\/strong>, engineer of the blues sound who worked with <strong>Fats Domino<\/strong>, <strong>Little Richard<\/strong> or <strong>Doctor John<\/strong>, among others. \u201c<em>These are crucial characters in the history of music, although they don\u2019t live in an extravagant way, like other stars<\/em>\u201d, he states.<\/p>\n<p>He came to <strong>Tarragona<\/strong> by coincidence, back in the 90s, because his brother, an archaeologist, had met his girlfriend in the city. \u201c<em>I remember it as a quiet place, too quiet, yet quite chaotic at the same time. You wouldn\u2019t see those many tourists as you do nowadays. It was pretty messy due to the construction of a parking lot under Pla\u00e7a de la Font. I didn\u2019t like it at all the first time, that\u2019s for sure<\/em>\u201d, he says. <strong>Richard<\/strong> used to live in <strong>Dei\u00e0<\/strong> back then, in the north of Majorca, and was part of a healthy local artistic community. It was not until the beginning of last decade, after moving back to his home in <strong>Philadelphia<\/strong>, that <strong>Richard<\/strong> decided to return to <strong>Tarragona<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This time though, he came back stay. \u201c<em>I met Pilar Delafuente, my partner. I had no clue back then about the Catalan identity nor the city\u2019s personality. I thought it was all sangria and bullfighting in Spain. Pilar is a woman very fond of Tarragona<\/em> [the daughter of Daniel Delafuente, a historic Diari de Tarragona journalist], <em>and thanks to her, I went through a quick immersion<\/em>\u201d, explains <strong>White<\/strong>, who has become a member of the <strong>Parta Alta<\/strong> artistic circle and the <strong>Associaci\u00f3 Tallers 03<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blues<\/strong> is in the middle of an emergent process in <strong>Europe<\/strong>, and <strong>Barcelona<\/strong> is a Mecca of this music gender.  By making the most of the public interest for this new music style, the <strong>International Blues Music Festival<\/strong> is pushing on \u201c<em>opening new doors<\/em>\u201d in the city. The event tries to play a sort of pollinating role by means of a modest yet high-quality programme. \u201c<em>We want people from abroad to add exciting values to the city, so that Tarragona is then projected internationally through them<\/em>\u201d, says <strong>White<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The festival, due from the 6th until the 9th of November this year, provides an overview to several versions of the same style. From the Hawaiian rhythms by <strong>Pascal Mesnier<\/strong>, who will be performing on Saturday at 8.30pm in Teatre Magatzem, to a jazz blues repertoire by <strong>Stromboli Jazz Band<\/strong> that will work as the opening for the festival on Thursday at 8pm. <strong>White<\/strong> himself, a member of <strong>Pig Fat<\/strong>, will perform as a lead-in artist for <strong>Blas Pic\u00f3n and the Junk Express<\/strong> on Friday at 10pm in Caf\u00e8 Metropol.
