About the artist

Paul Robeson

Paul Robeson is a legendary figure in music history. The American singer, actor, and activist made an indelible mark on the world with his commanding bass-baritone voice and powerful performances. Born in 1898 in Princeton, New Jersey, Robeson was classically trained as a singer but his talents extended far beyond the opera stage. He made his mark on Broadway and in Hollywood, starring in films like "Show Boat" and "The Emperor Jones." But it was his activism and commitment to social justice that truly set him apart. Robeson used his platform to speak out against racism, colonialism, and imperialism, making him a target of the McCarthy era witch hunts. His support for socialist causes and his unwavering dedication to the struggle for civil rights made him a controversial figure in his time, but also a hero to many. His iconic rendition of "Ol' Man River" from "Show Boat" remains one of the most powerful and haunting performances in the history of music. Robeson's voice had a depth and richness that was unmatched, and his passion for social justice infused every note he sang. Despite the challenges and obstacles he faced, Robeson never wavered in his commitment to using his music as a force for change. His legacy lives on as a testament to the power of music to inspire, educate, and unite people across borders and generations. Paul Robeson was a true visionary, whose impact on the world of music and activism will never be forgotten.
