another 'every month is African-American Music Appreciation Month' conversation with Journalist, Ronke Idowu Reeves on the "Singing Instrumentalists"

The Black-American Male Rhythm and Blues vocalist : masters of their craft -- voices telling a story of sheer determination and combining vocal sounds from Africa and the Americas.  These men are an integral part of American cultural expression and reveal the spectrum of our human experience and emotion through their contributions.  This conversation acknowledges their place in American history …

The voices of these men embody the strength, beauty and power of the Black American man  by showcasing their complexities.  Their voices embody love, longing and fragility—which often push back against how they are traditionally defined. Our focus on their vocal performances and signature songs both  honor and  celebrate their remarkable representation.
