I meant to do this during February for Black History Month, but didn’t get to it, so for the rest of the month of March and part of April, I aim to share one classic album by a Black artist/group from anywhere in the world each day. I will give special attention to albums & artists that don’t receive as much attention, as well as music from women, queer folks, or folks from the Global South. In addition, I aim to only include one album per artist (sorry Stevie)
For my working understanding of the idea of “classic album”, I am considering albums that have some “musical, lyrical, or cultural significance, demonstrated by unique or memorable artistic performance, message, and lasting replay value” (my own definition here). Important point: what I consider a classic will undoubtably differ from others perspective, whether they be musicians, artists, critics, and the general public.
Albums so far
