Capitalist Blues

With her third album, The Capitalist Blues, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Leyla McCalla has written a potent collection of protest songs that weave their way through her Haitian heritage and the near decade she's lived in New Orleans. The Capitalist Blues is a snapshot of Leyla processing the current political environment with gnashing teeth, a raised fist and a sturdy belief in music's power to effect change.
