Winnipeg Folk Festival Recap: Interview with Tao Rodriguez-Seeger
When Tao Rodriguez-Seeger walked into the Press Tent at the Winnipeg Folk Festival and asked if anyone wanted to interview him, my immediate response was YES!
Tao Rodriguez-Seeger appears to be following closely in his famous Grandfather, Pete Seegers’ footsteps. Not only is his vocal intonation full and warm, Tao is outspoken about many things on his politically engaged mind. Sitting in a forest clearing, behind the communal eating area Tao’s generous spirit is evident as he shares his thoughts on topics ranging from alternative energy & the BP oil spill to what it’s like growing up in revolutionary Nicaragua.
In this first interview segment, Tao tells the story of performing in Lafayette Louisiana at the Festival International with his band the Mammals.
