Shemekia Copeland (Biograf\u00eda)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Award-winning blues, soul and Americana singer Shemekia Copeland possesses one of the most instantly recognizable and deeply soulful roots music voices of our time. She is beloved worldwide for the fearlessness, honesty and humor of her revelatory music, as well as for delivering each song she performs with unmatched passion. Copeland \u2014 winner of the 2021 Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year\u2014 connects with her audience on an intensely personal level, taking them with her on what The Wall Street Journal calls \u201ca consequential ride\u201d of \u201cbold and timely blues.\u201d NPR Music says Shemekia sings with \u201cpunchy defiance and potent conviction.\u201d The Houston Chronicle describes her songs as \u201cresilient pleas for a kinder tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On her new Alligator album, Done Come Too Far, Copeland continues the story she began telling on 2018\u2019s groundbreaking America\u2019s Child and 2020\u2019s Grammy-nominated Uncivil War, reflecting her vision of America\u2019s past, present and future. On Done Come Too Far, she delivers her hard-hitting musical truths through her eyes, those of a young American Black woman, a mother, and a wife. But she likes to have a good time too, and her music reflects that, at times putting her sly sense of humor front and center. \u201cThis album was made by all sides of me \u2014 happy, sad, silly, irate \u2014 they\u2019re all a part who I am and who we all are. I\u2019m not political. I\u2019m just talking about what\u2019s happening in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she doesn\u2019t hold back. Recorded in Nashville and produced by multi-instrumentalist\/songwriter Will Kimbrough (who also produced her previous two albums), Done Come Too Far is Copeland at her charismatic, passionate, confrontational best. With singular purpose and simmering power, Copeland unleashes the searing, history-fueled tracks Too Far To Be Gone (featuring Sonny Landreth on scorching slide guitar) and Done Come Too Far (with Grammy-winner Cedric Burnside duetting and playing Mississippi Hill Country blues guitar). \u201cIf you think we\u2019re stopping,\u201d she sings in both songs, \u201cyou got it wrong.\u201d On The Talk, Copeland shares the brutally honest, harrowing reality of a Black mother talking with her son about surviving an encounter with the police (with the great Charles Hodges of the famed Hi Rhythm Section on pulsating B-3 organ). On the all-t00-timely Pink Turns To Red (written and recorded prior to the May 2022 Uvalde, Texas school shooting), Copeland decries America\u2019s gun violence epidemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La galardonada cantante de blues, soul y americana Shemekia Copeland posee una de las voces de m\u00fasica de ra\u00edces m\u00e1s reconocibles al instante y profundamente conmovedoras de nuestro tiempo. Es querida en todo el mundo por la valent\u00eda, la honestidad y el humor de su m\u00fasica reveladora, as\u00ed como por interpretar cada canci\u00f3n que interpreta con una pasi\u00f3n inigualable. Copeland, ganadora del Premio de M\u00fasica Blues 2021 al Artista del A\u00f1o B.B. King, se conecta con su audiencia a un nivel intensamente personal, llev\u00e1ndolos con ella en lo que The Wall Street Journal llama \u201cun viaje trascendental\u201d de \u201cblues audaz y oportuno\u201d. \" NPR Music dice que Shemekia canta con \u201cdesaf\u00edo contundente y convicci\u00f3n potente\u201d. El Houston Chronicle describe sus canciones como \u201cs\u00faplicas resilientes por un ma\u00f1ana m\u00e1s amable\u201d.

En su nuevo \u00e1lbum de Alligator, Done Come Too Far, Copeland contin\u00faa la historia que comenz\u00f3 a contar en el innovador America's Child de 2018 y en Uncivil War, nominado al Grammy de 2020, reflejando su visi\u00f3n del pasado, presente y futuro de Estados Unidos. En Done Come Too Far, ella expresa sus contundentes verdades musicales a trav\u00e9s de sus ojos, los de una joven negra estadounidense, una madre y una esposa. Pero a ella tambi\u00e9n le gusta pasar un buen rato, y su m\u00fasica lo refleja, poniendo en ocasiones su astuto sentido del humor al frente y al centro. \u201cEste \u00e1lbum fue hecho por todos mis lados: feliz, triste, tonto, furioso; todos son parte de qui\u00e9n soy y de qui\u00e9nes somos todos. No soy pol\u00edtico. S\u00f3lo estoy hablando de lo que est\u00e1 pasando en este pa\u00eds\u201d.

Y ella no se detiene. Grabado en Nashville y producido por el multiinstrumentista y compositor Will Kimbrough (quien tambi\u00e9n produjo sus dos \u00e1lbumes anteriores), Done Come Too Far es Copeland en su mejor momento carism\u00e1tico, apasionado y confrontativo. Con un prop\u00f3sito singular y un poder latente, Copeland desata los temas abrasadores e hist\u00f3ricos Too Far To Be Gone (con Sonny Landreth en la abrasadora guitarra slide) y Done Come Too Far (con el ganador del Grammy Cedric Burnside haciendo un dueto y tocando la guitarra de blues de Mississippi Hill Country). ). \"Si crees que vamos a parar\", canta en ambas canciones, \"te equivocaste\". En The Talk, Copeland comparte la realidad brutalmente honesta y desgarradora de una madre negra que habla con su hijo sobre c\u00f3mo sobrevivir a un encuentro con la polic\u00eda (con el gran Charles Hodges de la famosa Secci\u00f3n Hi Rhythm en el pulsante \u00f3rgano B-3). En el oportuno Pink Turns To Red (escrito y grabado antes del tiroteo en la escuela de Uvalde, Texas, en mayo de 2022), Copeland condena la epidemia de violencia armada en Estados Unidos.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
