Cotton Fields Signed by Osamu Nagahama / Peter Barakan In the late 80s, photographer Osamu Nagahama, in his late 40s, traveled alone to the American South and embarked on a blues pilgrimage, photographing 70 blues musicians without prior appointments. This is a collaboration between Nagahama and Peter Barakan, who is deeply knowledgeable about roots music, featuring photographs and words. You can "listen" to a blues playlist curated by Peter Barakan on Spotify, "read" the history, and "see" the lives of blues musicians through Nagahama's photographs in this art collection.
