In the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, one voice rang out with a unique blend of passion, pain, and defiance.
A voice that refused to be confined by the narrow labels of the time.
Born Eunice Kathleen Waymon, she later
reinvented herself as Nina Simone, performing in bars and clubs where she developed her distinctive sound, a fusion of classical music, soul, jazz, blues, and gospel. Nina Simone's music soon became more than just entertainment; it became a voice for the voiceless. In the early 1960s, amidst the rising tide of the Civil Rights Movement, she began to use her platform to address social injustices. Her songs became anthems of resistance and empowerment.
Her Afro-classical style paved the way for future generations of musicians to explore and celebrate their cultural heritage without constraint.
We celebrate Nina Simone, a musical prodigy and a voice for the voiceless.
