Many musicologist have confirmed that. <br /><br />In Africa, the music player is the griot: ONE OF the most important roles of the griot, which is even more crucial today than in the past is their ability to use historical knowledge, to pass non written history. The griot is well regarded, important, has a social status. <br /><br />The real blues, which is a son of african music, is born in the mississipi delta, out of the slavery, the bad condition, Lynching , Violence in the United States against African Americans, especially in the South. <br />As you can see, there is a very different context to both music. <br /><br />There is many good book on the subject: read: The land where the blues came from, from Alan Lomax. (he refers to the Delta region).<br /><br />many thanks<br />DenisDenisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5024442455775376733.post-53661917843631433882009-07-08T17:36:06.345+03:002009-07-08T17:36:06.345+03:00welcomeeeeeewelcomeeeeeeCHRIS I.
