Sub Saharan music

  One big part that I see in African music is the call and response. Ideally where someone calls a first line or something of that sort, then gets a response from the group of people. This is something I think is very popular in a lot of music with black roots inside of it,because it is something that gets the audience into the music 
 

One next thing I noticed was how they love to have percussive instruments shown in their music. Such as drums and different kinds of shakers that they all loved to use to enhance their music. Although this next video is long. I think it does truly show how evident and important the use of a rhythmic instruments are in the culture and music of Africans. Especially in the music of Zulu that is shown below.  In this you will notice a lot of natives wearing cultural clothing and also doing dances that go along with the music. Although it is only audio you hear how the drums are making a lot of melody along with shakers and bells in the back accompanying.

Last I think I would want to talk about how African had mixed with gospel music and religious music. Personally I am a lover of gospel music and singing so it was pretty cool to see how these African countries have created their own sense of gospel music . When first gaining religious beliefs Africans did struggle with finding ways to incorporate it into their own traditional upbeat kind of music. But they had no trouble finding ways to do it. These days there are a ton of gospel choirs in African that have a strong mix of African Tonal music that preaches a gospel that people can sit and worship with. As you can see in this next video the original words to the song were originally sang in their native language but translated to English so that people of all cultures could sit and understand.
