Where to have announced that he would announce the dates of the tour of Cowboy Carter (Really), Beyoncé did it. Indeed, no. He did not communicate the precise dates and not even the period, but only the cities he will touch.
This was published this morning a fake vintage poster. The cities are almost all American (Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Houston, Atlanta, Washington DC, Las Vegas), except two European Championships: London and Paris.
The name of the tour is Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin 'Circuit Tour And it is programmatic in unwinding the country imagination to the R&B one, as already happened in the album that has just been rewarded to the Grammy. Puts the title together to the album, which in turn contains a message: if it is not Cowgirl Carter As you would expect, it is also because once the former slaves were called in a chopped way boy.
The word Rodeo is combined with Chitlin 'Circuit, which at the time of racial segregation in the United States was the name of the network of premises in which African American performers, from blues to jazz to Rhythm & blues, could perform. And this until the 1960s, as well as the very young Jimi Hendrix also attended it. He said he had learned to play in front of an audience in Nashville, “you really have to play, those people do not satisfy themselves easily”.
One of the most accredited hypotheses is that the name chitlin come chitterlingswhich in the southern cuisine indicates dishes cooked with the pork entrails, which was once the pay that some of musicians received.
Nothing else is known on the tour. The only clue comes from the quarter of an hour of show that the star made in December to the so -called Beyoncé Bowl.
