Portrait Gallery

The Afrocentric Voices Portrait Gallery features African American singers and classical composers of vocal music whose images have been captured in photographs, drawings, and paintings that have become available on the Web. Where available, the images also have links to biographies located either here on Afrocentric Voices or elsewhere on the Web.

Of course, this is far from a complete group of African Americans who have established international vocal music careers. More are available on my Afrocentric Voices Pinterest page and will be added as images and links to biographies are found. Current images of musicians will also be changed occasionally.

To recommend an entry, please send the URL of the image and/or biography to Randye Jones.
