I had several requests for a follow-up to last year's MLK tribute mix, so here is 2012's, hopefully at least as enjoyable as the previous mix, if not more so...
(For the curious, you can find 2011's here: We Want to Stand On Up (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Mix) )
We open this set with Nina Simone's moving tribute paired up with the eponymous track Black Renaissance recorded on this day back in 1976, and go deeper from there, concluding with one of Irving Barnes' contributions to Harry Belafonte's essential "Long Road to Freedom: An Anthology of Black Music" collection.
As always, thanks for listening...
