内容大纲
It is widely acknowledged that music is the most significant contribution of African Americans to world culture. Within this context, several musical genres, sacred and secular, have evolved from African American experiences in North America, including jazz, blues, hip hop/rap, soul, spirituals and gospels, and are characterized by diversity within unity, creativity, rather than stagnation and continuity, spiced with change. They reflect the attitudes and concerns of both the performer(s) and their culture at a specific time and place in history. In the following essay, people, styles, and musical concepts are used to discuss selected African American musical genres. Major terms and concepts include: jazz, avant-garde, gospel, blues, spirituals, polyphony, African retentions, Gnawa, ethnomusicology, call-response, Euro-American classical music, improvisation, genre, hip hop, tempo, bebop, rap, soul, neo soul, funk, swing, hard bop, funky style, avant-garde, instrumentation, scat singer. -
