Harris tells writer Jed Gottlieb, with a shrug, that his musical achievements are &#8220;no different from what other musicians who travel have done. I keep my ears open and I know where I\u2019m coming from musically.&#8221; A bit put off by being called a &#8220;scholar, &#8221; Harris says that &#8220;when a musician talks about the music they play, suddenly they\u2019re a scholar.&#8221; Harris also seems bemused at the fascination with how black music has traveled with the African diaspora. &#8220;People seem to think that it\u2019s a real big leap to go from blues to African music where they don\u2019t see a leap between English folk and Appalachian folk. But it\u2019s not a leap. People are ignorant about African music.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/news.bostonherald.com\/entertainment\/music\/general\/view.bg?articleid=1232904&amp;srvc=next_article\">View story from the <em>Boston Herald<\/em>, Feb. 15, 2010.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boston Herald interviews roots musician Corey Harris &#8217;91, a MacArthur &#8220;genius&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":""},"categories":[7,11010,133,11009],"tags":[11051,6135],"class_list":["post-21411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alumni","category-arts","category-creativity","category-the-college","tag-bates-in-the-news","tag-music-tag"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/104"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21411"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21411\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93215,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21411\/revisions\/93215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
