The Fisk Jubilee Singers are an African American a cappella ensemble made up of students from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. First organized in 1871 to raise funds for their college through touring, the group's early repertoire featured mostly traditional spirituals alongside select songs by Stephen Foster. The original ensemble performed across Europe and toured along the path of the Underground Railroad within the United States. Additional groups from the later nineteenth century continued this tradition by touring in Europe as well.
