🎵 Rhythm and blues, R&B, a sensual blend of the best of African-American music, where the soulfulness of gospel and the blues meets the wild rhythms of jazz. Toss in some swing, funk, folk, rock. Simmer it in a history of struggle and resistance, and you've got music with not only a story to tell, but a beat that just won't quit. Episode 5 of Rivers of Rhythm is presented by Renasant Bank and made possible by the work of the National Museum of African American Music. | American Songwriter News
