Satchmo in Ghana — Black People in Music

What happens when the trumpet that invented American music goes home?

May 1956. Louis Armstrong — Satchmo, the genius from New Orleans who taught the world how to swing — lands in Accra. Thirteen bands on the tarmac. A hundred thousand people at the Polo Grounds. A song that left Louisiana generations ago and made it back before he did.

This isn't just a concert. This is Cold War America trying to use Black music as a weapon, a future African president in the crowd, and a grandson of slavery standing on African soil saying, "This is my country too."

From highlife to brass, from Accra to New Orleans — the sound they tried to bury came home.
