Stopping at the iconic Robert\u2019s Western World, the\ndocumentary tells the story of its proprietor Jesse Lee Jones. A native of\nBrazil, Jones came to the U.S. virtually penniless, guitar in hand. He learned\nEnglish partly by watching <strong>Sesame Street<\/strong>\nwith the children of the Illinois family who took him in. He also established\nhimself as a hard-working musician, eventually attracting local media\nattention. Given his affinity for country music, coming to Nashville was an\nobvious step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI began visiting some of\nthese thrift stores, and getting myself old suits, and the old Western ties,\u201d\nJones says in <strong>Music City, USA.<\/strong> \u201cIt\nwas like I was always meant to be there, and I had finally found myself.\u201d But\nhe wasn\u2019t your average country boy, as noted by Robert\u2019s legendary house band, BR-549,\nwho started referring to him as a Brazilian hillbilly. The name stuck and Jones\u2019\nband became Brazilbilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it happens, Jones and Robert\u2019s played a role in\nthe career of another <strong>Music City, USA\u2019s<\/strong>\nsubject. Rachel Rodriguez was in town\nwith her father and heard a set at Robert\u2019s that included Brazilbilly. That was\nthe pivotal evening when she decided to move to Nashville, she recalls in the\ndocumentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt never dawned on me that\nthere were no women of color, or really anybody of color at that time, on\nmainstream country radio,\u201d she says in the documentary. \u201cI did not look like\nyour typical country artist. People, unfortunately, listen with their eyes,\nsometimes. So I really had to put myself together and figure out, OK, now what\nam I going to do?\u201d She now flavors her beloved country music with elements of rock,\nsoul and Tejano music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giovanni\nRodriguez (no relation), a Dominican-American musician who grew up in Italy and\nHuntsville, also makes Latin-influenced music. Giovanni \u2013 who was recently\nfeatured in a Nashville Scene cover story about Latin musicians \u2013 prefers a\nmulticultural take on salsa. \u201cI try to\nbring in as many different people as possible, whether they be from Cuba,\nMexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Columbia, even other Americans,\u201d he\nsays in <strong>Music City, USA.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rounding\nout the documentary is the story of Peter One, a musician from Ivory Coast. One\nwas part of a duo that played stadium-size venues throughout West Africa in the\n1980s. He left his home when political conditions deteriorated and then put his\nmusic career on hold while trying to make a living in the U.S. Though One\u2019s\nstory comes last in <strong>Music City, USA,<\/strong>\nhe was the first of the documentary\u2019s artists to catch the attention of\nproducer Shawn Anfinson, via a feature on WPLN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHere\nwas this guy who\u2019d had a hit record in West Africa back in the 1980s, and it\nwas chock full of country-western influences.\u201d Anfinson said. \u201cI wondered if\nthere were more stories like his.\u201d NPT was airing Ken Burns\u2019 <strong>Country Music<\/strong> series when it came time\nfor a new Next Door Neighbors documentary, so when Anfinson met Jesse Lee Jones\nand then randomly encountered Rachel Rodriguez, the theme was set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As\nfor Peter One, he\u2019s working with Nashville musicians to create a record that reflects\nhis African roots and his American aspirations. \u201cYou\nnever know what\u2019s going to happen, so live your life,\u201d One says in <strong>Music City, USA.<\/strong> \u201cLive your life the\nbest way you can where you are. Nashville is the right place for me\u2026 and I\u2019m\nreally grateful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NPT\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ndn.wnpt.org\/documentaries\/music-city-usa\/\">Next Door Neighbors: Music City, USA<\/a><\/strong> is made possible by the generous support of The Nissan Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NPT\u2019s Next Door Neighbors series looks at Nashville\u2019s status as a destination city for refugees and immigrants and explores the rich diversity of people now calling Nashville home. Through documentaries, extensive outreach and continued relationships with Nashville\u2019s immigrant and refugee communities, the Next Door Neighbors project aims to increase understanding of unfamiliar cultures, highlight the experiences and successes of Nashville\u2019s immigrants, and mediate a community-wide conversation about who we are as Nashvillians. Anfinson\u2019s most recent documentary in the series was the Emmy-nominated <strong>Taste of Home,<\/strong> about the culinary traditions of Middle Tennessee\u2019s Ethiopian, Palestinian and Venezuelan communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music City, USA, the 13th documentary in NPT\u2019s award-winning Next Door Neighbors series, premieres Monday, April 27, at 8 p.m. This edition of Next Door Neighbors traces the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":12775,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[121],"tags":[4107,2289],"class_list":["post-12774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-next-door-neighbors","tag-music-city-usa","tag-next-door-neighbors"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NPT&#039;s &#039;Next Door Neighbors: Music City, USA&#039; premieres Monday, April 27 - Nashville PBS Media Update<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;Music City, USA,&quot; the 13th documentary in NPT\u2019s award-winning Next Door Neighbors series, premieres Monday, April 27, at 8 p.m. This edition of Next Door Neighbors traces the musical voyages of four people, each a first- or second-generation immigrant, who came to Nashville to pursue careers in music.
