My guess is that they want to tap that money being spent on country music and give it to the black pioneers that live in Compton

Pretty much everyone acknowledges the Banjo has African origins.
Obvious European influences but it’s not just European folk music.

The country music label didn't exist until the 50s which shared with western music. Before that it was known as hill music as that is where it came from. Then Nashville wanted to be mainstream with the music of the big cities and wanted to get rid of the hillbilly look. So they wanted the artists to wear cowboy hats and boots which have a Spanish origin. Then it really took off especially with Roy Rogers the singing cowboy in Hollywood.

Some of it has black influence without question.
The English lyrics of rap, the technology of the cars, cellphones, electric grid, airplanes, etc. that black people use are all primarily influenced by Anglo folks.
Who gives a frick? I don’t feel the need to walk up and randomly point it out or make a documentary about it.

Not a lot of AA in the Appalachians.

Don't know about all that, but it's true that all musicians have respected and listened to each others Genre throughout time. If you're in that industry you know what's going on around you. It's also true that the banjo originated in Africa.

I don’t agree that Country music is black in origin.
But pretending there are no black influences is pretty dumb.

So, every music is black music because of its roots regardless of who actually made the music or listened to the music?
That doesn't matter either. Robert Johnson sold his sold to the devil, but the devil didn't invent those chord progressions for him. They had been around forever. I get sick of hearing that crap like blues was just some magic thing they invented. The chord progressions had been around and people have been singing about being sad for thousands of years.

The proto "American" musical form was an amalgam of Irish/Scottish/English folk music mixed with Christian hymns and African rhythms. The more formally trained folks (black and white) drifted into Jazz as it developed. The more organic musical styles variously evolved into gospel, blues, bluegrass, country and ultimately those fused into rock and roll. American music is composed of music heavily of the European and African Continents, less so from other sources
Period.
Period.

All popular music is based on European standards.
The guitar form is usually credited to the Spanish and definitely came along during the 400 years period of North American exploration by the Europeans. Violins were always there during that time.
The banjo is a tribute to the ingenuity of need, as are the scrub board, the washtub bass, and all sorts of cigar box instruments.
I find the efforts to amplify those kinds of instruments later on as bigger and bigger venues were experienced very interesting... dobro comes to mind
ALL guitars are fascinating to me - as is the market for them. Many instruments come to be worth up to hundreds of thousands or even millions for what was purchased for not very much. Heck, I have a fairly recent Gibson 6 string that has caught fire in the Japanese marketplace.

I try to remember the Ken Burns country music. But it starts becoming more interesting with the western swing and the Bakersfield sound.

Its music. The central substance about what that actually means or implies belittles the miraculous nature of it.
Where does a song come from?
How did the vast array of signatures and scales come to be? and why?
What underlying meaning is impactful? Why?

Is anybody really pretending there is no influence? How about we all influence one another, it’s called civilization. Does the left go on and on about the influence of different cuisines? The fuk does the left feel the need to divide and categorize everyfreakinThing?

A lot of the origins of country music were irish influenced.
And the steel guitar they added after WWII was invented by a Hawaiian guy.
