Born in a small town, lost in the plains of Oklahoma, Woody Guthrie will become in the years after 1929, those of the global financial crisis and the American Great Depression, the wandering singer of the desperate and disappointed american province. With his voice and the guitar on his shoulder, he transformed the desperation of the US working class into folk ballads that have resisted time, reaching our days. Among the artists who over the years have claimed to have a debt to his music, there are Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Jackson Browne, the Clash and the U2, just to name a few. In these years of white suprematism and racism, there is still a solidal and democratic America that arises from the values expressed in Guthrie’s songs.
