Join The Greenhouse Music Podcast with Mrs. Delana as we explore the powerful and moving world of African American spirituals! These songs, born from struggle and resilience, hold deep historical significance and continue to inspire musicians today.
In this episode, we’ll uncover how spirituals were used as coded messages to help enslaved people escape to freedom, discuss their unique musical characteristics, and explore famous songs like Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, and Go Down, Moses. We’ll also learn how spirituals influenced gospel, blues, jazz, and modern music genres.
Stick around for a fun interactive game at the end where you can test your knowledge with a "Finish the Lyric" challenge! 🎶✨
Perfect for music lovers, history buffs, and anyone celebrating Black History Month through the power of song!
