The field holler or field call is mostly a historical type of vocal work song sung by field slaves in the United States (and later by African American forced laborers accused of violating vagrancy laws) to accompany their tasked work, to communicate usefully, or to vent feelings. It differs from the collective work song in that it was sung solo, though early observers noted that a holler, or ‘cry’, might be echoed by other workers. Though commonly associated with cotton cultivation, the field holler was also sung by levee workers, and field hands in rice and sugar plantations. Field hollers are also known as corn-field hollers, water calls, and whoops. An early description is from 1853 and the first recordings are from the 1930s. The holler is closely related to the call and response of wo

  • Worksongs (deutsch: Arbeitslieder) sind Lieder der Afroamerikaner, die seit dem 17. Jahrhundert aus Westafrika als Sklaven in die Südstaaten der späteren USA deportiert wurden. Sie wurden vor allem auf den Baumwoll-Feldern bei der Arbeit gesungen, ursprünglich als improvisierte Wechselgesänge zwischen Vorsänger und Gruppe ohne Instrumentalbegleitung. Zusammen mit Spirituals und Gospels und anderen Stilen der afroamerikanischen Musik bilden sie eine wesentliche Wurzel des Blues und des Jazz. (de)

  • Los Gritos de campo (hollers),​ eran una manifestación musical afroamericana desarrollada en época anterior a la Guerra Civil estadounidense, relacionada con las canciones de trabajo (work songs), y que fueron el más claro antecedente de los blues. Ortiz Oderigo los definió como: canciones de breve extensión, medio habladas, medio cantadas, medio gritadas, entonadas por los braceros durante sus labores o en momentos de descanso, con el objeto de comunicarse entre sí, y cuya transcripción al pentagrama es harto difícil, si no imposible​ (es)

  • Een worksong is een lied uit een genre dat ontstaan is onder de Afro-Amerikanen. Het waren werkliederen die de slaven zongen tijdens hun zware werk op plantages (plantation song), bij wegenbouw, spoorwegaanleg (railroad song) en de scheepvaart. Het ritme en tempo van de liederen werden bepaald door de lichaamsbewegingen, zodat ze makkelijk onder het werk te zingen waren. De teksten en melodieën waren erg eenvoudig. Het werd gezongen door een voorzanger die werd afgewisseld door het koor. Worksongs worden nu nog gezongen door de zwarte dwangarbeiders in de "prison farms". (nl)
