Black gospel music, often called gospel music or simply gospel, is the traditional music of the Black diaspora in the United States. It is rooted in the conversion of enslaved Africans to Christianity, both during and after the trans-atlantic slave trade, starting with work songs sung in the fields and, later, with religious songs sung in various church settings, later classified as Negro Spirituals. Over time, gospel evolved into a distinct musical form that blended African musical traditions with Christian themes, becoming a powerful expression of faith, resilience, and cultural identity.
Black gospel music has been traditionally concerned with the African-American quest for freedom. It has provided both "spiritual and communal uplift", first in the fields, and later in the Black Church; during the 1960s era in the South, it was described as the "soundtrack of the struggle for civil rights", helping create unity and faith for the work.
