"Jowanda E. Jordan Festival of Negro Spirituals," formerly "Kwei-Kwei Festival of Negro Spirituals", originally named and chaired by the late Mrs. Jowanda E. Jordan. In 2015, The Dallas Metroplex Musicians' Association unanimously elected to rename the event in honor of Mrs. Jordan. Mrs. Jordan was a charter member of the Dallas Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc. (NANM) organized in 1985, now known as the Dallas Metroplex Musicians' Association.
She served as the Director of the Southern Region of NANM, Inc., for more than eleven years. She championed the Negro Spiritual throughout our community. We are ever grateful to Mrs. Jordan and many others for developing a culture of excellence and a platform for celebrating this uniquely American genre of music, The Negro Spiritual. Currently, the spiritual is sung around the world. It is our hope that the festival will continue to present the Negro Spiritual as a genre worthy of study, performance, and celebration, thus, presenting it as a gift to generations to come. Participating performers throughout the region are committed to preserving and celebrating the Negro Spiritual.
St. Luke "Community" United Methodist Church co-hosts this event with the Dallas Metroplex Musicians' Association as a part of its Music Series, but this year's program will be located at Highland Park United Methodist Church, 3300 Mockingbird Ln, Dallas, TX 75205.
