Singing in the Spirit: The African and African American Musical Heritage

Spirituals and gospel music are much more than pleasing songs to listen to; they are powerful representations of the triumphant spirit and faith that have defined African-American music and people. Dr. Kathy Bullock takes the audience on a musical journey from West Africa, through the middle passage, to the North American shores where the African-American culture was forged. Through songs, stories and performance, this participatory program lets the audience experience the beauty, joy and power of this music and culture
