WASHINGTON, D.C. - It’s not unusual for a Department Secretary to be in the spotlight, but America’s top diplomat, State Dept. Secretary Antony Blinken, is putting the spotlight on a relatively new initiative last year: combining music and diplomacy. It’s part of the department’s Global Music Diplomacy Initiative which aims to promote peace and democracy through music. Recently, they announced a wave of celebrities as part of their music ambassadors to help spread this message.
