San Francisco is known for its historical relationship with music and its everlasting bond with the African American community. Every February, San Francisco celebrates Black Month, honouring the contributions of African Americans and the sacrifices they made while on a journey of deserved entitlement.
Fly To The Music
The city has wholeheartedly accepted all kinds of music, and with the announcement of Mumbai-San Francisco, and Bengaluru-San Francisco direct flights that will run for 3 weeks nonstop, you need to visit these venues now more than ever.  The music sites in San Francisco raise an opportunity for new artists to share the stage with African American music legends and bring about a collaboration that transcends musical boundaries, by connecting people.
