VA - Black Songs Matter (2016)

This is the ideal soundtrack to Black Lives Matter, the real life movie that is played out every week in various parts of the USA. There are many reasons why these songs are necessary 150 years after slavery was abolished, and 400 years after the slave trade. During the sixties and the seventies, conscious songs were used as a fuel to fire the revolution.

‘Move On Up’ by Curtis Mayfield, ‘Black Enough For You’ by Billy Paul, ‘Give The Little Man’ by William De Vaughn were only a tip of the positive messages that were delivered. Here This Various Artists compilation offers up positive songs with positive messages most recorded over the last twenty years for the ARIWA record label. This compilation offers up 16 tracks that really do matter and with a play loud attitude!
