In honor of Black History Month, Folk Alley is celebrating the rich legacy of Black folk artists who helped shape the genre in its early days of recording. Throughout February, we’ll highlight these pioneering musicians and their profound contributions to folk music. To showcase the lasting impact of their work, we’re also featuring modern artists who have drawn direct inspiration from their artistry.
We will also be highlighting a different historical Black folk artist each week here on the website.
You can listen anytime by clicking on the Classic Folk stream below or on the FA mobile app, or by saying, “Alexa, ask Folk Alley to Play Classic Folk.”
