Beyoncé Just Dropped A Powerful A Capella Rendition Of ‘Black Parade’
Beyoncé‘s parade route continued on Tuesday (June 23) with an a capella rendition of her celebratory anthem, “Black Parade.” The new release was a followup to Queen Bey’s original “Black Parade” production that came on Friday (June 19) in honor of Juneteenth, which celebrates the end of slavery in the United States. Specifically, the now-155-year-old holiday marks the date in 1865 when enslaved people in Texas learned of their freedom as declared by President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation two years prior. The song’s lyrics are lush with proud historical and cultural references to her ancestry. “I’m goin’ back to the South,” the Texas-born mother of three sings. “Ankh charm on gold chains, w...

Crowdfunding Campaign Launched for Club der Visionaere in Effort to Save Venue
Berlin’s storied Club der Visionaere (CDV) is in danger of closing permanently due to ongoing setbacks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
