about

The Curtis Family C-notes' “Power to the People” anthem is an upbeat and passionate R&B song with a ‘70s vibe and richly textured multilayered vocals. The song opens, “Black lives matter because we were all meant to be free – free as you want to be.” Other lines in the four-minute single include: “Let love guide the way, we can see a better day … hold your head up high, stand up tall and speak your mind …Black and brown and yellow, red and white and the blue.”

Sung with fierce love and passion, “Power to the People” offers the Black Lives Matter movement a message of hope and unity. “I always want our music and message to be universal,” says Nola Curtis, aka “Mama Cnote.”

The Curtis Family Cnotes are preparing to launch their first full album, making a unique and powerful contribution to contemporary music by centering the family. As Papa Cnote puts it, “Strong families make strong communities, making stronger nations, which creates a BETTER WORLD.”
