Spirituals are a genre of religious folk songs that originated among African-Americans in the 19th century, especially during the period of slavery in the United States. These songs are deeply rooted in Christian faith and often express themes of hope, freedom, and resilience. Spirituals are characterized by their expressive vocal style, repetitive patterns, and emotional resonance. They were initially performed in churches and informal gatherings and played a significant role in the development of gospel music. Spirituals continue to be valued for their historical significance and their profound influence on American music and culture.
