The Fisk Jubilee Singers are vocal artists and students at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, who sing and travel worldwide. The original Fisk Jubilee Singers introduced ‘slave songs’ to the world in 1871 and were instrumental in preserving this unique American musical tradition known today as African American spirituals. They broke racial barriers in the United States and abroad in the late 19th century and entertained kings and queens in Europe, all while raising money in support of their school.
