The Rise of The Jubilee Quartet

Jubilee means to have freedom from hardships. The Jubilee quartet started from black university choirs and what first set in the 1870s. It was first established to raise money for black colleges that were going through a rough time financially. The Fisk Jubilee quartet was the first to record independently.

Becoming the main attraction of African American community activities and social life, quartet groups were sponsored by companies.

All in all, the Jubilee quartet gained popularity through their unique blend of folk songs and spirituals that they performed. As they began touring and recording their fame was quickly ignited. Many people resonated with their music. Most importantly, they played a huge role in the development of gospel music.
