Rémy Martin expanded its time-honoured tradition of celebrating the sounds of local communities with Voices from Harlem – a partnership with the Harlem Writers Guild that pays homage to the written word and voices of the Harlem Renaissance. The series highlights the parallels between music and poetry as powerful means of expression and cultures of excellence. Through curated content, poems from iconic African American poets of the early 20th century are read by Harlem poets of today with four different melodies in the backdrop created by GRAMMY-award winning producer Jermaine Dupri.
