Honoring Black Voices Through Song: A Juneteenth Reflection đ€đ¶
This Juneteenth, we recognize the artists whose music has given voice to liberation, resilience, and joy in the face of injustice. At TRO Essex Music Group, we're proud to represent a legacy of Black songwriters whose work has carried movements, preserved histories, and inspired generations.
From Civil Rights leader Bernice Johnson Reagon and her daughter Toshi Reagon, to blues pioneer Leadbelly and groundbreaking singer/songwriter Joan Armatrading, their voices continue to uplift and transform.
We also honor artists like Bessie Jones, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, and todayâs rising voices who carry the torch of freedom and storytelling through music.
Music is memory. Music is resistance. Music is freedom. Check out our specially curated Juneteenth playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2g4HJEzwH6a8YV10YN3m8l?si=u6aJU8p9ShipTN5LM6yRew
