The month of June is a busy one. You have schools letting out for the (beginning of) Summer, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Juneteenth, Father’s Day, and much more. While we respect each holiday mentioned, one acknowledgment that The Groove Suite family would like to honor is Black Music Month.

Also called African American Music Appreciation Month (dubbed by President Barak Obama in 2009), it’s dedicated to the past and present African American music influencers. Many organizations and social groups take time to praise numerous African American music stars, composers, and more, by sharing history facts, attending performances in respects of, and more.

The Groove Suite decided to share some music and show their appreciation for their influences. With that, be on the lookout for a committed playlist every Tuesday of this month, discussions about various Black music that will be held on Twitter Spaces, some DJ mixes, and maybe a live event…?? Hmmm!

Below are two references of the creation and the ongoings of Black Music Month. Also, follow the handles below to stay up on the content we’ll be sharing! Great music to share, admire, and appreciate!
