Music is one of my loves in life and is for so many people around the world! It is one of the true ways in which people can express themselves! Since back in the day, music has been one of our most important tools to express our views on everything from love to politics! In the February, 2011 issue of
Essence Magazine, an article called "Freedom Songs", written by B.J., caught my attention! The article recommends 5 CDs you can download that blend politics with art and soul! The list includes 4 classics from back in the day and only one newcomer. Check it out:
- YOUNG, GIFTED AND BLACK (1971) - Aretha Franklin
- WHAT'S GOING ON (1971) - Marvin Gaye
- SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE (1976) - Stevie Wonder
- THE MISEDUCATION OF LAURYN HILL (1998) - Lauryn Hill
- WAKE UP! (2010) - John Legend and The Roots
Download and enjoy!
