Black music is a inspired by black people, Black history music has its own way of expressing it self and in this case the African Americans were trying to be happy. They didn’t had the same rights as the whites, so they started to sing their own kind of music to be happy and make their kids happy or other African Americans that were slaves.including African music traditions and African popular music as well as the music genres of the African diaspora, including Afro-Caribbean music and African American music.

Black music in Britain received its first serious journalistic coverage in Black Music magazine (1973 - 1984). The content gap on the black history music was a monumental part of black culture because it has the power to unify people, and cross borders. It was a way that the early slaves could express themselves and communicate when they were being forcibly relocated and when there were restrictions on what cultural activities they could pursue. They didn’t had the same rights as the whites, so they started to sing their own kind of music to be happy and make their kids happy or other African Americans that were slaves. It helps me a lot I even got to learn that not only the Africans made music but also Brazilians, the Caribbean nations, France, Britain , they were some that created music.

Background
Music is a monumental part of Black culture because it has the power to unify people, and cross borders. Just one song can have the power to bring millions of people from all different backgrounds together. It is a matter of taste and opinions, not intellectual arguments. Another important fact that ties music to black communities is that it has visible roots in Africa. It was a way that the early slaves could express themselves and communicate when they were being forcibly relocated and when there were restrictions on what cultural activities they could pursue. In a time where their world was being turned upside down, music served as an escape and form of communication/expression for early black communities. The ability of music to act as a binding factor provides the black culture with a strong sense of connectivity. The beginnings of black music as a separate genre in the United States started with the advent of slave spirituals and gospel music. We talked about the change in genre with each artist. James Brown ushered in Soul Music and use of the guitar (Loop), which led to funk music. “Bumpin’ Good Time” was a good example of soul-funk. We watched one video that highlighted many of his performances and discussed how James Brown’s style and dance moves influence Michael Jackson and Prince. His song “I’m Black and I’m Proud” needed some, but little, explanation The term can also be used in a derogatory manner to refer to musical genres with strong African-American influence, such as [[hip hop music.
