The Independent Blues Broadcasters Association (IBBA) is an organization of radio presenters in the United Kingdom whose programs feature blues and blues-based or blues-influenced music.
The music heard across IBBA member programs covers a wide range of styles, but blues remains at its foundation. The association recognizes the blues as a musical form that developed in the southern United States from African American culture and acknowledges the profound influence of African American musical traditions on blues, jazz, soul, funk, reggae, hip-hop, blues-rock and other forms of popular music.
Today, this music is performed, broadcast and appreciated by people around the world. The IBBA recognizes the cultural history from which the blues emerged and the generations of musicians who developed, expanded and carried the music forward.
The association also acknowledges the historic and continuing struggles faced by African Americans and other communities affected by racial discrimination, as well as similar issues affecting minority communities in Britain. The IBBA emphasizes the importance of listening to those communities and recognizing their experiences.
The IBBA views music as a force that can bring people together, inspire audiences and contribute to social change. Musicians and music organizations have long participated in movements opposing racism and discrimination, and the association encourages broadcasters and listeners to remain aware of the cultural history at the heart of the music they present and support.
