Pete Seeger Livres
Pete Seeger fut une figure centrale du renouveau de la musique folk américaine du milieu du XXe siècle, célébré pour son activisme et son talent de parolier. Son œuvre, souvent empreinte d'un esprit de protestation, abordait des thèmes sociaux et politiques profonds, laissant une marque indélébile sur l'époque. Les compositions de Seeger, y compris des hymnes durables comme « Where Have All the Flowers Gone? » et « If I Had a Hammer », ont transcendé les genres et les frontières, devenant des chansons reconnues mondialement. Son héritage réside dans la puissante fusion de la musique avec un commentaire social urgent, inspirant des générations.
