Black women consistently make their mark on the music industry throughout the centuries. The Black female musicians highlighted here represent a sense of the past, present and future.

Beached Bums
She emerged from the waves, dazzling like Bo Derek in 10. Two long tendrils instead of braids. This young woman fell into the category of modern. Postmodern, even, or whatever comes after that.

Skin hydrated by the ocean resembled stretched canvas waiting for an artist to come along and finish the masterpiece.
