China Honours Black Music

This year, in honour of Black Music Month, we’re exploring the undeniable impact of Black music and musicians around the world. As C-pop has extended its reach across the musical spectrum, the influence of Black music has emerged strongly among the young generation of C-pop artists, coinciding with the rise of hip-hop and R&B music. Such sounds are prominent in recent music from artists like Jackson Wang, Victor Ma, Justin Huang, and Lexie Liu, as well as C-pop OG Jeffrey Kung.
