Get ready to dance through music history! Enjoy all the music that has been influenced by black culture, presented by the ASUArt Museum and A Taste of Melanin.
Black culture has shaped the music we listen to today. From gospel and blues set the stage for rock ‘n’ roll, while jazz has this crazy ability to cross all kinds of borders with its beats. African rhythms mixed with other musical styles gave birth to hip-hop, R&B, funk, and loads more. Black culture’s influence is everywhere in modern tunes—it’s the heart and soul of what we listen to.
At A Taste of Melanin, we believe that black culture is beautiful, complex, and often misunderstood. In today’s media landscape, the black community is often portrayed in a negative light, and we want to change that narrative. Our goal is to showcase the rich history, art, music, and traditions of black culture, and to help people gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of its many facets.
