How Musical Traditions Are Passed on to New Generations | PBS NewsHour

The blues is a quintessentially American art form, yet one whose early masters have mostly passed away. The genre relies on each succeeding generation to renew and reinvigorate it. In Clarksdale, Mississippi, 21-year-old guitarist Christone “Kingfish” Ingram is taking up that mantle. Special correspondent Tom Casciato reports for our American Creators series and arts and culture coverage, Canvas.
