Field hollers, work songs, shouts, & cries held immense significance for enslaved Black Americans. Sounding like noise to slaveowners, these songs conveyed secrets through encrypted codes, retold Bible stories, or offered solace. They bore witness to the resilience & endurance of the enslaved, forging a legacy that impacts musicians worldwide.
