What type music do you know, that can express the pain, frustration, love, passion, anger, & happiness like black music. No matter what genre: gospel, soul, blues, jazz, or hip-hop, the emotion expressed through black music is unique.
What would we do without it? How could we get through trials and overcome tribulation without the medium of music to artistically translate our circumstances. Being that this is Black Music Month, I thought it appropriate to show appreciation for all of the artists out there, big or small.
