At the very core of African American culture is music. I feel that it is important to pay homage to the collective genius that created Black music. Black musicians have created genres of music that are embraced and emulated by all cultural groups on the planet. Black music has achieved a level of commercial success that has allowed it to move out of the “Chitterling Circuit” clubs to the concert stage and mainstream American advertisements.
