'THE MUSIC IS BLACK'

 

The newest museum to open in London opens tomorrow, Saturday 18 April 2026, with a special exhbition on Black British music!

I was at the press viewing.

'The Music is Black: A British Story' retells 125 years of Black music-making in Britain at the new Victoria & Albert Museum in Stratford. 

"Spanning four continents, this is a story of excellence, struggle, resilience and joy," the museum promises.

It's a travel through time as over 120 tracks from every era play directly through a headset. 

More than an exhibition, this immersive sound experience explores the power and impact of Black "British music."
