June 2024, NBAF celebrates African-American alternative music with ALTBLK, an immersive concert experience!
The history of black alternative music is a dynamic and multifaceted journey that challenges traditional narratives of these genres as predominantly white spaces. They are spaces of artistic and political experimentation and from their inception, people of African descent have created, rebelled, and influenced within the different scenes.
Black alternative music is a story of resistance, creativity, and breaking down racial barriers within these genres. They are extensions of our call for collective freedom, of living outside of mainstream rules and expectations.
ALTBLK celebrates the African American contributions to the genre while showcasing the contemporary talent pushing the genre forward via:|
