AAAI Records

A Shared Vision

AAAI Records is the product of a vision shared by students, staff, and friends of the African American Arts Institute (AAAI). Since the IU Soul Revue was founded in 1971, laying the foundation for the AAAI and its other ensembles (African American Dance Company and African American Choral Ensemble), live performance has been our primary focus.
