Juneteenth 1865-2024 A Legacy of Song

In "Juneteenth 1865-2024: A Legacy of Song," we show that music is the tie that binds and the language that has flowed through and across cultures since the beginning of time.

Many would argue the rhythm, rhyme and the magic of a steady drum beat began in Africa. They’d also say the sounds of Africa influence every genre of music from folk and country to house, funk and rock. The heavy bass lines of hip-hop and the slashing of a heavy metal guitar are all influenced by African culture.

To truly understand the breadth of the impact of Africa on American music, in this fourth installment of this award-winning KHOU 11 documentary series, we have to take it back to the Mother Land.
