Makes no sense because the music WAS created by African Americans. Not one single music in the USA is white. Bluegrass, rockabilly, and metal all have their links to Blues, Country and rhythm/Blues music. Not a single influence from white/European music in the US. Old time music was also copied from American folk music.

@@fk90-b9z " Not one single music in the USA is white." Stephen Foster wrote a number of tunes in the 1850s and was white. He never even visited the Suwannee River. The majority of Hymns in American churches come from Europe. "Not a single influence from white/European music in the US." J.S. Bach wrote music in the 1700s. Plus all the composers from the Baroque period in Europe. That's a huge collection of white influence. Plus all the ethnic varieties like Gypsy, local tribal music from all over Europe, the Middle East, China, Mesopotamia, India, and many others locales. Plenty of influences. Plus, in more modern times, white bands playing 1920s jazz brought non-African influences. Plus "old time music" as you call it, was developed in the hill countries in America (and not just by Africans). Plus, jazz was influenced by Non-African instruments. Yes, they played drums, but not the drumming one hears on jazz recordings in the jazz age. Ragtime did not come from Africa. It was popular as piano music and the piano is a European instrument. Early blues was played in American country areas, primarily on banjos and guitars. Guitars came from Spain and banjos (strings stretched across skins) date back to Egypt, China, Mesopotamia and other civilizations before Africa. Jazz instruments were mostly invented in Europe except trumpets (mentioned in the bible). Yes drums were used in Africa (and also in America and many other countries) but cymbals are mentioned in the bible. But the song structure, chords and melodies did not come from Africa (based on music from Europe.) The standard blues chord progression can be found in music from Europe in the 18th century. Plus, the recording devices, microphones, record pressing, and distribution processes weren't invented by Africa (including the electricity generating machinery). Swing of course was a derivative of jazz. The electric guitar was developed by a white man. Finally, I have yet to find any records from Africa that feature the syncopation of ragtime and jazz. Even today You Tube only plays native drums from that country.

@@darz3829 African American music has no connections to classical music, so take Bach name out. Secondly, all the Instruments you mentioned were all invented by the moors aka negro European. Blues music which is based on pentatonic scales are African based not European. Nobody in Europe was playing pentatonic scales. Classical music was based on appregios. Ragtime and boogie woogie have no links to European music, nobody has ever stated that these genre have links to Europe. These genre were referred by white people as nigger and Africa culture.

I could also tell he was doing this as an assignment

Of course anything to discredit the obvious roots which is African music! U white folks ate redicolous.

Stop the AA. AmrcnEmancipatedGREEDMEN-Lineag. AEF-L.

If AEF were indeed African, there'd be no need to reclassify us over and over and over again, to remove us from Turtle Island.

Yup! Let them know!🖤

That's not untrue, but it's also somewhat reductionist. The other half of country musics' heritage is fiddle music from the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland)

You're speaking of notated syncopation. Improvised and unnotated music of all cultures probably included what we would call syncopation long before the middle ages.

they were not african

We aren't African, lol,the world?,smh

​@@Regalmanthey were

​@@vergespierre4271you are lol

@windsurfer8824 No, sir, we are not. And no uninformed, indoctrinated "African" or pan African can say but babble conjecture and emotion rhetoric

STFU you embarrass me as a black woman with the we wuz indian shit. Stop embarrassing black people on the internet. Native indians are really asians from siberia etc. and some were darkskin just like they are dark indians and asians who are darker than some black folk. Native indians are almost exctint in america. Have some pride sir your ancestors are from africa.

​@@flora-3603You're not black

​@@flora-3603Many indigenous globally have negroid features, even ones in Asia. It's not just about skin tone. The Spanish who first colonized America depicted the having afros.

No? Its all african influence

The blues was influenced by gospel and work songs don't know where you got your bullshit from.

Stop the bullshyte lies. It wasn’t.

no it wasn't

@@danjones8902 unpleasant as it may be for some folks to accept, it’s a fact

Everyone is desperate to co opt black music as always. This unique music did not exist anywhere but the Black American community. It was not develop anywhere but Black American communities. That is why the ONLY common factor is Black Americans and their enslaved ancestors .

@@QuatMan Things never just excist. We come from our ancensters. Things come from things before. Action-reaction.

@@1glassMilk Black American music did not exist anywhere else, be it Blues, R&B, Jazz, or black American gospel. All these different genres were uniquely created by Black American commumities. That is where it came from. It did not magically appear. It was created by Black Americans. Native American music does not sound like Black American genres😉

@@QuatMan All these genres have influences from multiple musical cultures. Gospel is influenced by European music. Jazz has European harmonies. R&B comes from Blues. And Blues is a mixture of roots music and european harmonies. The question is where the roots is from. Since many African Americans play and played blues there is for sure an African American influence. Certainly a developement. But that does not mean there could not be a Native american influence. I read that bluesresearches did research in Africa and did not find a connection with Blues. I read that Buddy Guy went to Africa and did not find a link with Blues. Blues researches are not sure where the Blues comes from. Since it is such a unique music genre. That is a interesting way of looking to it. It is to me more interesting to believe that there is a native American influence. Cause the elements of blues are in Native American music. Rhytmicly, lyricly and emotionally. And many black people and native american people lived together. As neighbours probably but also in families. A famous guitarplayer who is called 'The Father of the Delta Blues'' was known to be partly native American ans was called by fellow musicians as ''an Indian''. Jimi Hendrix had native influence and probably family. Al this to me is important. And the times where the blues started to develope is a time which is not researched a lot. Maybe that the documentation is not well available. So this theory that there is a native American influenc is for me a theory which I believe.

@@1glassMilk I like your theory of everything here, buuut much of it just isnt correct in real life. If you would like to believe that the Blues somehow comes from what you currently know of Native American music, without stating any specific tribes or songs, and without having knowledge about what they may have sounded like in the 1600s, if they were singing anything at all at that time, go for it😉 The rest of the world will know that Black Americans created all of those music genres. The songs have words, so they were influenced by any and all cultures on the planet! The early gospel songs were in English and about Bible stories, so there is the British influence! Germans, Dutch, Spanish, and British all had slaves and many of the songs were ABOUT the difficulty of slavery, so there is the European influence! Blues music uses guitars, so more European influence. Modern drumsets are drums and Africans have always had drums, so they influenced Black American music. We will ignore the fact that NONE of those other groups created the musical styles themselves. We will just call any and all elements used to create any music, an influence! If that is your game, then have fun with it😆😉
