The racial disparity of the modern U.S. dance scene has been obvious to anyone taking a cursory glance at festival lineups and streaming statistics.
As the Black Live Matter movement has taken center stage in the States, more artists have actually started talking about the issue in public.
Today (June 25), dance world veteran Aluna joins this conversation with an open letter to the dance music industry. Posted via Instagram, her letter addresses inequalities, "extreme" double standards and her thoughts on how to affect meaningful change.
This letter comes at a pivotal time for the English artist born Aluna Francis. In April, she launched her solo project after a decade performing with her longtime duo, AlunaGeorge.
