African American Music Appreciation Month 2009

 
African American Music Appreciation month marks the celebration of contributions made by African Americans to American music. The music that African Americans brought with them from Africa influenced the development of newer forms, including slave songs, Negro Spirituals, Dixieland, Jazz, Rap, Hip-hop music and more. African American music also lead to a new expression of
Western European music, with varying rhythms and harmonies.
