#30DaysofBlackJoy…Day 23-Black Music Appreciation-“Global Sounds of Black Joy!!”

Posted on by drblackfuturefeminist

As we continue our celebration of #BlackJoy and #BlackMusic, I wanted to step away from the U.S. and bring in some #GlobalBlackJoy!

So, today’s #BlackJoy curated playlist is all about the “Global Sounds of Black Joy!” Some of these sounds include old-school dancehall, Afro-beats, and reggae!! One of the great things that I love about each of these musical genres is how they each uniquely speak to and ignite the passion of the people who perform it. Dancehall, Reggae, and Afrobeats culture has and continues to make such a major impact on the music industry so much so that we see it presented not just in music videos, but TikTok, YouTube, a Verzuz battle, festivals, and of course annual carnivals/festivals.

To get a little taste, see this week’s playlist below:

Now you know I got a #TinyDeskConcert treat for you this week too (a Tripleheader), see below:
