Wow - thank you for this wonderful singing Juares. You have a rich, glorious voice - so special in this world. Your warmth, sensitivity and emotion are beautifully balanced in this fine medley of negro-spiritual favourites. Are you a professional singer - if so, where are you from and where are you singing? Best wishes, Christopher
I am reading Uncle Tom's Cabin for school and this shows me just how the slaves felt. though most people wont admit it there were white slaves and alot of slaves were treated like family. some people however treated slaves poorly and it is only these stories that are told in school so it is sad that people don't see the ties that were stronger than blood between master and slaves :(
These songs take me back to my ancestry in the deep south. Where my GrandDaddy used to whip the shit out of his nigger bitch slaves for not willingly giving up their wives to take his seed and make Mexicans.
Amazing Grace may not be written by a Black person, but it is the most popular song in the Black Church. It is sung when no other song will do. Yes, a slaver wrote the song, but the melody is truly African. God is amazing to put both the slaver and the slave together to make a song that endures beyond our own foolishness.
The words were actually written buy a John Newton, a reformed British slave ship captain. As for the melody, there's one theory that it was an African medley.
The right thing for us, the descendants of the slaves, is to teach our offspring "responsibility" - to self, family, and nation - instead of teaching "rights." You have no "rights" when you lack what it takes to have rights - like quality education. Let's teach our children respect - for oneself, family, and fellow (wo)men. We must teach them hardwork - African Americans were some of the strongest humans created. Additionally, let's teach them forgiveness - magnanimity is stronger than hatred.
@OneWorldOneDestiny preach, I say this kind of stuff all the time and the black people my age (young 20's) think I'm on some Uncle Tom stuff, forgetting my roots...
The singing of the oppressed doesn't have to be the best singing in the world to be good. I doubt that many slaves sang or sing like classically trained opera stars - they sang and sing authentically, in respect of feeling and lyrics - as a solace to themselves and their fellows. And that's what's beautiful. And tragic. And shameful.
Im sorry, but this singing isn't good nor inspirational to me...Jesse Norman or someone else should have been chosen to sing here...Wade in the Water was the worst I've ever heard.
as a black southerner, i must say these singers make these classics sound terrible...they need some real old school voices to sing these songs...i know a few from the churches around here who would take you back to the fields...
Get over what? It's a spiritual kid. . . You know, the songs and melodies that my people, and your people, used to sing when songs actually meant something besides shaking your ass and wearing heavy ass chains that mean absolutely nothing. . . Kid, I sincerly hope that you aren't going to grow up and allow your children to be as insensitive as you because, based on your comment, I can say that your sense of freedom is as pale as the color of your skin. . .
Hahaha...funny "black people". That sounds so rehearsed. Hear me and hear me well.... It's not eben about the songs man, it's about the struggle smart guy. Not just about "black people", but about the person, about an individual, black, white, asian, italian, whatever. What are you doing on this page anyways if you're so against "black people"? You came on here willingly, no one told you to be here on this page.
Excellent video! These songs are the very spirituals that my church (childhood church, that is) song on every Sunday morning (including 'The National Negro Anthem')
Im white, and I think there is nothing wrong with honering former slaves, but we must remember that slavery is a thing of the past, and whites today should not be held responsible
There is nothing wrong with honering former slaves and whites today should not be held responsible. Its also good to remember that there are people still alive that fill the pain of slavery through family history. Yes slavery ended over 400 years ago but in my life time I remember a black man could not vote, Sometimes people try to make a cut off pont and say you should not bring that up, that's old history. Bringing up the old history help to live with it and move on it's not going away today
yes, they should be held responsable. because they still maintain a system of mordern slavery, when they send their hitmens to uproot governments, and keep dicatortships their for economic gain. look at congo, angola,etc etc... the white man benefits from non-democratic runnings cos it means easy access for resources. look at what the whites did in nicaragua, chile...yes, they should be held responsable.
Not 'the white man', but 'the rich man'. The old dichotomy between oppresive whites and oppressed blacks needs to be realised for the fallacy it is. It is a gross over simplification and, at base, a cop-out. It isn't a racial disadvantage but an economic one, which is shared by millions of white people.

I Love it! EXCELLENT job...your voice is awesome, and the video definitely reflects the historic time era of these classic songs. I feel it in my soul...KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
Um povo duplamente escravizado. Por Satanás epelo sistema escravagista.Muitos encontraram em Cristo a liberdade, embora seu canto seja triste, Jesus, o libertador, era sua única razão de cantar.
It's always beautiful to hear my generation picking up the torch and continuing the great tradition that is The Negro Spiritual. It is, without doubt, the basis for all great American music.

I hope Juares is invited (sponsored) to the US sometime soon. His effort with the US "Negro Spiritual" is commendable. Quite different from the "homegrown." Interesting!
I liked the video.The voice who sings is beautiful:I could distinguish Sinner,please(one of my favourites);Sweet Lord,Sweet chariot;Nobody Knows(where the low notes are incredible);Sometimes I feel...;Deep river;Go down,Moses...I would like to see YOU!singing.Thanks a lot!
