Which article are you evaluating?
Music of the African diaspora

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because the African diaspora has been an interest of mine since my freshman year when I took an African American studies course. From that moment on, I became invested in accumulating as much information on the diaspora as I could. This article matters because it presents a critical piece of the diaspora, music and the evolution of it throughout different countries around the world. My first impression of the article was that it felt slightly unfinished, as if more could be included

-Lead Section: The first sentence actually throws me off a bit, instead of making me want to read more. I feel as if the opening sentence could've been worded better and more explanatory. As you go on, the first section feels like more of a body paragragh instead of the summary.

-Content: The content of the article is solid, however some of the subcategories seem a bit light. I feel as if there could be more expansion on the different countries.

-Tone and Balance: The article presented is neutral and doesn't lean toward any one side instead of the other.

-Sources and References: All of the necessary sources are included, but since the article doesn't go too in depth, there is not much need to.

-Talk Page: There is discussion about merging this page with the one titled "Afro-American music", but someone argued against it. Personally, I see the benefit of it because it can contribute to emphasizing the evolution of music of the African diaspora and show how different they were for varying groups under the umbrella of being a part of the African Diaspora.

-Overall Impressions: It was a well written article and very interesting to read. but it needs to be edited to include more information on the various subcategories.
