The Delta Blues Education Fund, founded in 1992, is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich tradition of Delta Blues in the Mississippi Delta region. With a focus on bringing together children and master musicians, the organization supports apprenticeships, provides direct support materials, and pays master Delta Blues artists, ensuring the continuation of this important musical genre. Rooted in the community and geography it serves, the DBEP celebrates the legacy of renowned artists like Muddy Waters, B.B. King, and Howlin' Wolf, while also nurturing local talent who keep the tradition alive at home through performances at various events. With a majority of apprentices being Black and having Native American heritage, the DBEP plays a vital role in empowering at-risk children from impoverished families, contributing to the cultural fabric of the predominantly rural and agricultural Delta Community.Generated from the website
