Celebrate the Gift of Black Music
Black music has an ever-expanding legacy and presence that's still being felt today. From R&B, to Hip Hop, to Gospel—just to name a few—these genres and Black musicians have influenced and inspired countless artists from all cultures. It’s enriched our lives and each instance is a unique experience to ourselves. This Black Music Month, Pandora encourages us to collectively celebrate the positive personal moments, and individual gifts Black music has given to us.
