Soul Walk North invites you to visit historic landmarks where music thrived in Portland's Black community. Learn about Albina's past, listen to the music that built its legacy, and hear from those helping to shape its future. The SOUL WALK NORTH audio tour explores Albina's historic music culture in the mid-20th century as well as current revitalization efforts underway. Using the ECHOES mobile app, walkers visit historic landmarks in Albina while listening to oral histories from Albina's musicians and community leaders + songs from the Albina Music Trust archive. Visiting former venues and community hubs, we invite walkers to experience these historic landmarks while calling attention to the changemakers visioning 50 years into the neighborhood's future.
