Anthology "Sing Freedom!". African American Spirituals Conspirare, Craig Hella Johnson

1h12

Excerpt:"Sing Freedom". I Got a Home in-a Dat Rock

One of the seminal American musical traditions, the spiritual is dramatic, powerful, and profoundly beautiful — the bedrock for much of American music that was to follow.
Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare explore here the genre’s wide range of expression and its eloquence in speaking to universal aspects of the human condition.
