‘Music from the Big House’ frees blues, soul and gospel from the walls of Angola prison

The initiative "Music from the Big House" highlights the profound artistic expressions of blues, soul, and gospel by incarcerated artists from Louisiana State Penitentiary, Angola Prison. This project, in partnership with The Marshall Project, showcases the deep, emotive music created behind prison walls, offering a rare glimpse into the humanity and creativity of those often overlooked in the criminal justice system. By delivering these soulful tunes directly to listeners, it not only supports the artists but also challenges preconceived notions about inmates, emphasizing the transformative power of art.
