Celebrating Black History Month with Music
Music teacher, Riccardo Emilien, and his 4th grade students are celebrating Black History Month with a nod to New Orleans funky blues. Watch the video here!
Exploring Black American Music's Lineage - From Congo Square to Today
In honor of Black History Month, Herndon ES music teacher, Riccardo Emilien is exploring black American music's lineage from Congo Square to today. "This February, I wanted to start each day having listeners immerse themselves in the captivating journey of Black American music. I’ve curated a daily playlist - starting with the vibrant rhythms of Congo Square and tracing the evolution through genres like blues, jazz, hip-hop, and more. I hope students, staff, and parents discover the fascinating connections that weave together these diverse styles, revealing the enduring power of African roots that resonate even in Central and South American cultures – our largest population.
I believe it’s important for us to listen, learn, and celebrate the cultural richness passed down through generations and I hope people look forward to hearing the daily playlists and connect with the shared spirit of this music!"
