Soul of America: The Evolution of Black Music

  • Stax Music Academy Memphis, TN USA (map)

Join Stax Music Academy students as they explore the people, places, politics, economics, and culture that gave birth to Black American music that continues to be relevant decades later. In this virtual celebration, our talented students will perform a series of videos exploring music from the early sounds through today, checking in with greats like B.B. King, the Pointer Sisters, Ike & Tina Turner, Rufus Thomas, and Duke Ellington, to current pop music titans like Beyonce and Janelle Monae. The videos will be filmed at special locations throughout Memphis and the South that spotlight the cradle of Black American music.
