The album is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the United States to uncover and uplift the stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“We shed light on those who have been erased or overlooked throughout American history and merge with it Silkroad's unique ability to amplify voices from a multitude of backgrounds and cultures,\" Giddens says. \"The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and musics that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized. I hope audiences will leave with a clearer sense of where we come from, how we got here, what it cost us—and that we collectively reflect on where we're headed.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusicians:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRhiannon Giddens, banjo, fiddle, voice\u003cbr\u003eShawn Conley, bass\u003cbr\u003ePura Fé, conch, lap-steel guitar, voice\u003cbr\u003eHaruka Fujii, percussion \u003cbr\u003eSandeep Das, tabla, voice \u003cbr\u003eKaren Ouzounian, cello, voice\u003cbr\u003eMazz Swift, violin, voice\u003cbr\u003eNiwel Tsumbu, guitar\u003cbr\u003eFrancesco Turrisi, frame drums, accordion\u003cbr\u003eKaoru Watanabe, Japanese flutes, percussion\u003cbr\u003eMichi Wiancko, violin, voice \u003cbr\u003eWu Man, pipa\u003cbr\u003eYazhi Guo, suona, Chinese percussion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Credits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmerican Railroad was recorded live at Green Music Center in Sonoma, CA and Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley, CA on November 17 and 18, 2023.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhiannon Giddens, Kaoru Watanabe, and Jody Elff are co-producers.
