Pete Seeger was an influential American folk singer, songwriter, and social activist who played a central role in the folk music revival of the 20th century. Born in New York City in 1919, he helped popularize traditional and protest songs, wrote or adapted enduring anthems such as “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” and “Turn! Turn! Turn!,” and used his music to support civil rights, peace, labor rights, and environmental causes. A pioneer in using song for social change, Seeger remained a beloved figure in American music until his death in 2014 at the age of 94.

Elizabeth Cotten (1893–1987) was a self-taught American folk and blues musician from North Carolina, best known for her iconic song "Freight Train," which she wrote as a child. Her playing style is legendary: being left-handed, she played a right-handed guitar flipped upside down, picking melodies with her fingers on the bass strings and rhythm with her thumb on the treble — a technique now called "Cotten picking" that gives her music its distinctive gentle, rolling quality. Rooted in Piedmont blues and Appalachian folk, her work is warm, unhurried, and deeply intimate. Rediscovered in the 1950s while working as a housekeeper for the Seeger family, she went on to win a Grammy at age 90 and remains a profound influence on acoustic and folk guitar.
Genres: blues, folk
Graeme Allwright (1926–2020) was a New Zealand-born French singer-songwriter and a major figure of French folk and protest song. He became famous in France for his French-language adaptations of English-speaking songwriters such as Leonard Cohen, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, carrying pacifist and humanist messages. Over a long career he recorded enduring classics like "Petit garçon" and "Jusqu'à la ceinture," becoming one of the most beloved voices of the French folk scene.
