That means black people are responsible for Rascal Flats.

Can we just say black people invented everything? And whites stole it cuz we want to be them but we hate them? Just say it already.

quote:The Irish, Scottish, English, and from the French later (Acadian) folk music meandered and weathered through a few centuries in North America. These led to generations of rustic country and what is described as country music today.
A lot of the origins of country music were irish influenced.
The influence of Nigerians, Kenyans, Congolese, Dahomey (now Benin), Ghana and the rest of the enslavers of other blacks from Africa whose descendants wound up in North America had no input to the music known as 'country' for those 400 years. none.
Anyone purporting that such a thing is in any way truthful is a merchant in lies.
Of course, there is a massive amount of such misinformed/disinformed nonsense making its rounds among free Americans these days.

We went to the Country Music Museum in Nashville when Auburn played in the Music City bowl.
IIRC They did have a section on the influence of blacks/black music on country but it was one just of many influences.
Sounds like Amazon is over-stating it a wee bit lol

It was called hill music in the 20s and the first band was the Carter family.

As could be expected of thousands of country music professional masked Karens and Chads living in the McMansions of Franklin, TN today.

What about the blacks they enslaved and then white people purchased and transported to American?
Feels like you conveniently ignored that group of people. The Africans actually IN America.
But country music today has rock and roll influences, gospel influences, rock and roll influences all of which involves black singers and musicians.
Pretty much everyone acknowledges the Banjo has African origins.
Obvious European influences but it’s not just European folk music.

The Gaslighting is reaching to Olympian Heights.
One day, schoolchildren will be taught in US Govt schools that Gregorian Chant is Black Music.

This was an almost direct quote from Ray Charles.
I lost a lot of respect for him over that statement.

Pretty soon they’ll tell us Vikings were black.

Yeah, definitely not a clear continuation of Scots/Irish musical tradition. It's so weird how the Scots/Irish moved to the hollows of Kentucky and the hills of Tennessee, stopped playing the music that was their birthright, and waited for African music to come along to reignite their interest. Those music-less years in between were awful quiet.

Comedian Larry Miller used to have a great joke along these lines. He said, "My grandfather was a musician. He was half black and half white. He played the blues on a banjo."

country music today
Heck, it was an official part of rudimentary education 'system's through the whole time those education efforts existed. It was 'music' taught along with 'dance' from the same lineage.

Perhaps largely true, however, someone else in this thread pointed out that the Banjo does seem to have evolved from instruments brought here from Africa by African slaves.
So it is an interesting topic to ponder.
I agree with you that it's foolishly reductionist for anyone to state that American Country Music is Black Music.

When you have to claim everything, it’s a sure sign you’ve contributed nothing.
