Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris released an epic playlist of black artists to honor African American Music Appreciation month in June.

Harris shared the playlist exclusively with Blavity Tuesday to commemorate black music and artists like 2Pac, Beyonce and Prince for June.

“No matter where you are from or what you look like, music is a bond that can bring us all together. To celebrate African-American music is to dance, sing, and even march to the rhythms that have long served as vehicles for honesty, inspiration, struggle, success and joy,” Harris told Blavity.

The playlist includes music from a broad range of black artists, like Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, Al Green, Jackson 5, Jay-Z, James Brown and Aretha Franklin.

 

“Our nation has an indelible soundtrack, songs that have become anthems recognized across the world. Much of that soundtrack is inspired and informed by the vast contributions of African-American artists in jazz, R&B, rap, hip-hop, and beyond,” Harris said in a statement.
