Bridging The Gap~October 6th, 2020: The Artists of "Black Is King"

Being stuck at home most days has given me a chance to watch the shows and movies that I didn't have time to prior to the pandmic. One of these, is Beyoncé's visual album, "Black Is King." Beside it being visually and lyrically stunning, in my opinion, she also featured a handful of African and Latin artists, some of whom I had heard of before (like Oumou Sangaré), while most I had not.

This made me want to dig and listen to the music of these artists who otherwise may have flown under my radar and showcase them on tonight's episode of Bridging The Gap.
