Jubilee is a biblical term that nearly means to shout with joy and Black people did just that, which brought to us Jubilee singing. Jubilee singing started in neighborhoods, churches, barbershops, and historically Black colleges and universities. In typical manner, something that started small and I’m sure a hobby became main acts on big stages. Jubilee singers were typically, but not limited to, quartets. The singers were dressed in their sharpest attire to perform and usually sung in a cappella.
