Bukka White (born Booker T. Washington White; 1902-1977) was an American singer and guitarist considered one of the pillars of delta blues. Born in Mississippi, Bukka White began playing guitar at a young age, influenced by the traditional African American music of his region. Throughout his career, he recorded a vast discography of blues songs characterized by a raw and powerful sound, often accompanied by lyrics that addressed social issues such as poverty, injustice, and racism. Among his most famous songs are "Fixin' to Die", "Shake 'Em On Down" and "Parchman Farm Blues". Bukka White collaborated with other important blues artists of his time, such as Charley Patton and Son House. His music had a significant impact on the American musical landscape, influencing generations of blues and rock musicians.
