Elmore D is the Belgian alter ego of Benoit Blue Boy, the French-speaking bluesman who pays tribute to the musical legacy of the Southern United States. He borrows from the greatest American bluesmen, drawing on their strength and authenticity. A linguist and an academic, he transposes English into his own Walloon dialect. Through personal memories he evokes Herstal, his birthplace, and provides humorous, tender testimony to the working-class traditions of the Walloons. Situated at the confines of blues and World Music, Back to Hesta is a rare look into French-language culture.
