A workshop titled Poetry and Music - The legacy of Blues Music in Blues Poetry, organized by dr. Pop Titus and dr. Lászlóffy Zsolt of Partium Christian University, Romania, took place on November 9, 2023. The workshop focused on the interconnectedness between a musical pattern (call-and-response pattern) and a poetic genre (blues poetry). It introduced how blues music emerged as a genre due to the appropriation of African heritage and how this music influenced the Harlem Renaissance movement. The students listened to blues music and read selected poems, discussed the impact the music had on the new poetic genre of blues poetry, and were able to learn how strongly can a particular style of music impact a whole socio-cultural movement.
