      Jeremy is a troll, he knows damn well what he’s doing, and he’s only doing it bc he’s behind a keyboard (probably in his mom’s basement, at that). Not a chance he’d have the balls to say something so ignorant to any black person’s face.
      Any idiot can look at modern stats and say, for example, “well, why do blacks make up such a small part of the population, but commit most of the crimes”, or other ignorant comments that grossly overgeneralize, essentialize, and ignore context; ultimately, all it reveals is an extreme deficit in an ability to think critically, and actually do proper research. It takes a few minutes to delude oneself with the racist pseudoscience and pseudo-intellectualism that runs rampant online, and has been a cornerstone of far right “thinking” for a long time now. It takes far more effort, research, and critical thinking to actually understand the systems and structures that we all exist in, and why certain outcomes may show more struggles for some groups than others. Nobody who’s actually done due diligence, and spent time attempting to understand the multiple layers of context that we all exist in, and that any given bit of data exists in, comes to such simplistic conclusions about an entire group of people.
      Ignorance is bliss. Enjoy your delusions, Jeremy. Or, you know, maybe grow up a little and try to understand the world you exist in, and the multiple “others” who surround you.

      What about classical music? That continued in America when they got here.
      What about Celtic music? Celtic music has a huge influence on American music and it existed before what we call America.
      I can't deny the influences on African music in America. And people still make all these types of music today.
      People want to break down American music into a small portion and only go back to the 1930s. Trying to pin down music to one origin is impossible. But people do it for some reason. That is like saying one person created the whole English language. Lol

    If I understand correctly, this was a project for a class, so it’s not going to be completely exhaustive, and likely had a time limit you were expected to stay under, but one worthwhile addition, which should have come right before Jelly Roll Morton, would have been including a couple minutes on ragtime, and its most important composer, Scott Joplin (yes, more so than Morton, who also did ragtime). Anyway, it’s not meant to be a criticism, I think y’all did a fine job.
    Some people don’t seem to understand that you’re students, and this is a project for a class, and y’all aren’t professional voice artists. I can understand wanting to see a professionally done version, but I can’t understand the put downs, or implications that y’all were somehow disrespectful, or worse.

      "the first one to write it down" It's a myth. Jelly said himself that jazz isn't what's written down, it's the improvisation off of whatever's written down. The fact that Jelly put out a blues as sheet music in 1915 -- about the 30th blues that anyone put out as sheet music -- doesn't have to with "writing jazz down" in a meaningful way, and 1915 isn't very early in the context of jazz anyway considering that Bolden stopped playing 8 years earlier.

      Reality Check African-American music takes mostly from the tradition of the upper West African Sahel and Sudanic regions, while Afro cuban music takes mostly from the tradition from the lower West African and Central African "forested" regions. The music of these regions is vastly different as it African-Americans vs Afro-Cubans(even though there are some shared characteristics such as cross rhythms & claves).
      "Afro-Cuban and African American music is very similar yet very different. Why? Because “essential elements of these two musics came from different parts of Africa, entering the New World by different routes, at different times, into differently structured societies” (Sublette, 159). These essential elements in African American music do not appear in Cuban music: swing and the blues scale. Cuban music contains elements of the clave (a rhythmic key) and “those undulating, repeating, melodic-rhythmic loops of fixed pitches called guajeo, montuno, or tumbao” (159). The reason for these differences was that they reflected two different musical styles that of Sudanic Africa and forest Africa."

Also the reason why blacks dont have so much drumming and tribal dancing like afrixan and latin americans is becsuse the blacks in usa were not allowed to.mantain drums and other parts of culture but in latin americs especially in cuba they preserved so much including the names of the tribes and orishas... that xou can trace back in africa.. but wven us in africa cant explain because of of conquest.. please guys stop the ignorance. Espcially the african americans...

      @@eunicehen4959 I'm African American. Trust me, we're not all as ignorant and prideful about it as some of these people in this comment section. I study history and do research about different cultures so I understand the connection and evolution of African culture through their descendents in different parts of the world. You are absolutely correct. Many things relating to African culture such as West African drums weren't openly accepted in American society, which made African American music evolve differently but there are still similarities with how we express ourselves through song and dance. I'm proud of my African roots. It has most definitely influenced African American creativity.

    In my theory blues is coming from a mix of Native American music, Afro American music and European music. And Native American music could be an influence of blues. I hear sometimes pentatonic notes, I hear sometimes notes that are new to the key, I hear repetition, I hear short phrases, I hear singing and mourning and I hear a moving drumbeat. An influence could come from Native American music. A music culture that is alive in America.

      @@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!
