It’s hard to believe it has already been one year since the launch of Carbon Sound, a new platform that “celebrates the depth, breadth, and influence of Black musical expression and honors the foundational role of Black music throughout all genres of music.”

We are so proud to get to work with Julian, Sani, and Andre, and hope everyone joins them to celebrate Carbon Sound’s first birthday at the Fine Line on Juneteenth.

In honor of this milestone, we’re planning a Coffee Break with music from Carbon Sound.

For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, which songs from Carbon Sound’s library should we play?
