All-American Music

It is Americanized rather than the Apple faction and can be said to be more American than baseball. When thinking of America, baseball and Apple are definitely the first things you think, but if I ask about what a nationwide concert is. I think the first thing that should come to mind is bluegrass music. Bluegrass music, playing mainly acoustic instruments and string instruments and vocal harmony have some differences and cultural roots with other countries, yet they seem to be American pies.

But there are peculiar things. There is one thing that is common to almost all American music. The more people think about it, the more exotic it is. It is a very different rhythm world. There are kick drums on the boom - bop - boom - bop, 1 and 3, or all four, on the 2 and 4 snare drums. The hit rate reaches the grid. This rhythm is called "Duple" in the music theory, you can find out the change and drive any musical style of the modern America. Blues, Motown, Soul, Funk, Rock, Disco, Hip Hop, House, Pop etc

American music is black music - and vice versa. At least for the past 125 years, I could not understand the complexity of American music tradition without compromising the contributions of black musicians. Music was born through a ripple effect, that is, through a creative way of calling and responding. For black artists this means updating to the latest one and trying the familiar custom to achieve a more healthy progress. Whether guitarists make rock music or reorganize blues rhythms to attract more dance, or whether Frankie Knuckles produces family music by accelerating discography to put the party in the warehouse, Musicians are not afraid to push creative restrictions.

Even if not all, America has African American music innovation. Without the contribution of African-American music, we do not have the most popular pop style we know today. From rock to hip hop, bluegrass, everything is influenced by American traditional African music style and African slave music. In the early years of African slave trade slaves used traditional music as a means of maintaining contact with their culture and protesting the conditions they were unavoidable. They also developed ways to communicate with each other through a coded message using drums to rebel their slaveowners. When the slave owner finally figured out what happened, they took their drums, but the slaves created a new way to make similar rhythms using other things or just their hands, and drumming We developed a complex vocal to simulate.
