Review by Badosoft Development

Langston Hughes' album Poems From Black Africa is a captivating collection of poetry that explores the rich cultural heritage of Africa. The album is a tribute to the diverse voices and experiences of black people across the continent, and Hughes' masterful use of language and imagery brings each poem to life.

The album opens with "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," a powerful and evocative piece that draws on the metaphor of rivers to explore the deep roots of black identity and history. Other standout pieces include "Afro-American Fragment," which celebrates the resilience and strength of black people in the face of oppression, and "Song for a Dark Girl," a haunting lament for a lost love.

Throughout the album, Hughes' poetry is infused with a deep sense of humanity and compassion. He captures the beauty, pain, and complexity of black life with a sensitivity and nuance that is rare in literature. Whether exploring the joys of community or the horrors of slavery, Hughes' words resonate with a timeless power and relevance.
