Black Music
A Black Music Month tribute to Black music
Black music month. It all started with us. The world of music could never be parted from us.
Black music month. We were the earliest to give music a voice and now we all rejoice.
Black music month. We were there for the hymns and prayers and we’re still here a thousand years later.
Black music month. We created it all from the Blues to Hip Hop’s ones and two’s.
Black music month. The voices you hear when life takes a toll. These Black voices are the soul.
Black music month. You don’t have to like us and you can even doubt us, but music wouldn’t be music without us.

I completely agree since very Young I loved the way voices dance and sounds of all people around but discovering the angelic voices in blues and hip hop and another kind of music and sounds was for me a true real paradise for the ears and the mind! Congratulations on Top story beautiful poem celebrating Black Music Month!
nice
Nice poem. I agree. Music would not be complete without the contributions of Black music. I thought Jazz was originally from Black music. Unless it has been categorized as Blues?
Please fellas am new to this thing Can someone pleas explain better to me I'd really appreciate if someone can explain the whole thing to me
