Family history is a source of inspiration for lots of singer-songwriters, even though it’s not always an easy or pleasant topic to explore. Kyshona had to dig a lot deeper than many as she worked on what became her latest LP, Legacy: Her ancestors were enslaved people, and a lot of information about them was lost or not even collected. She turned what she learned — with help from genealogists at the National Museum of African American History & Culture — into a beautifully soulful and rocking expression of love and resilience.
