With appreciation to the family of Margaret Bonds.
Elena O’Connor, Soprano, and Madrigalia present
“Especially Do I Believe in the Negro Race”
from Margaret Bonds’ CREDO (1965-1967)
Text by W. E. B. Dubois:
Especially do I believe in the Negro race;
in the beauty of its genius,
the sweetness of its soul,
and its strength in that meekness that shall yet
inherit this turbulent earth.

Elena O'Connor is great. Im upest we cant hear her as much.
The melody is beautiful, but I can't understand a single word Elena O'Connor is singing. Fortunately,
I can understand the chorus.
Beautiful!
Beautiful!
