Would ''black music'' even be a thing if

>>74362239
Yes. It would just be different.

>>74362239
Wasn't a lot of the blues about being in jail and shit? Niggers would still be niggers tbhfam

Probably not as widespread or prominent as it is today, but I believe it would exist due to immigration. Probably be quite different to if we assume the economic disparity didn't develop as it had.

>>74362239
no, black people didnt exist before being trafficked into the Americas

>>74362335
Jazz and the blues didnt.

Forced to move to America by their own people.

"their own people"

You can't ask a question like that in history. If x didn't happen a million other things could've that could potentially cause x to still happen, something similar, or something completely different.

not without the white man's instruments

Its a legitimate thread discussing the history of black music in American history and the importance of the history, why would it get deleted?

>>74362983
It sounds good
Most people don't even know that traditional African music exists, mistaking it for African-American music. Also, the fact is, traditional African music is the closest relative of traditional European music.
