Assignment 4 - Discovery Blog: Put It All Together



In our history the African influence has brought so much into our music/art world. The difference instruments like the drums. All the different beats have formed music and three of my favorites are jazz, rock, and country music. Without this influence we wouldn’t be able to listen and enjoy all different types of music.
 I love that jazz is upbeat and lead to genres like swing music. I love rock also because it sound is so different from jazz. Rock was centered on electric guitar. It was influenced by rhythm and blues. Country music is different in its own right too. Country music takes it roots from Southeastern American Folk music and Western music. Country music is simple and mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric, and acoustic guitars, fiddle, and harmonicas.
