Testimonial

Having a black music festival in the city of Vancouver that celebrates the diaspora influence on North American culture is long time coming...

Historically, black music has influenced other cultures and other genres and created other genres. Miguel

I think that American music, for me, it's a synthesis of a lot of different things. But for me growing up in North Carolina, the stuff that I was listening to, the things that I was hearing, it was all about black music, about soul music. James Taylor

Black American Music

- James Taylor

Black music is too big and too powerful not to have its own awards show.

A lot of my success comes from black music. It's something I'm very proud of.

Black Faith

- Michael Bolton

I prefer black music in general. Phil Collins

If you're doing black music, you should have a core understanding of where that comes from, and the fundamentals - so you're not some bozo thinking you're doing something new.

Black beauty

- Anderson Paak

I think that if you hear music young, whatever music you hear influences you. I'm white, but I've been influenced by black music. Lisa Stansfield

I want to remind people that black music is amazing. And there are all forms of it that we've forgotten, you know? Rock music is black music! Don't forget that's what it is.

Music Matters

- Robert Glasper

That's because we did not set out to make black music. We set out to make quality music that everyone could enjoy and listen to. Smokey Robinson

There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.

Black Influence

- Eminem

I guess hip-hop has been closer to the pulse of the streets than any music we've had in a long time. It's sociology as well as music, which is in keeping with the tradition of black music in America. Quincy Jones

Bob Marley performed the 'One Love Peace' concert in Jamaica with the two different warring political sides. There's always been that in black music and culture in general. It's no surprise because black music is such a reflection of what's going on in black life. It's not unusual for hip-hop.

Black Poetry

- Mos Def
