You forget Zook music from Martinique, its white music too. How about Samba... Yes! samba came from the royal courts of England. The few English that settled in Brazil taught blacks to play samba. We can even go further back. Africans did not invent the drums they play either. The Portuguese actual introduced the drum to Africans and taught them how to make them. Before that Africans made noises by hitting logs. It took the Arabs and Whites to teach them to organise those noises into music. Ask the patriot he is an expert in these things. Samba..is a mixture of African and Portuguese influences, but still way to jungle-ish sounding for me:D Bossa Nova on the other hand is good stuff. Zook music? I don't think anybody listens to Zook music anyhow. The thing about the drums, yeah, sounds likely to me. I know Bongos come from ancient Egypt and of course ancient Egyptians were not Black:rolleyes: But you already know that from that other thread, which is probably where you should be posting this stuff because this thread is about RAP/HIP HOP. So this is why I'm ignoring you for now on.
