During the past centuries, generations, cultures, and countries have always had the desire to make music for their ears and to their gods. There is a famous saying, “Music speaks the words we can’t say." I believe this is very relevant to our society because this is a way of progress and expressing what we feel about anything around us. Music is life, and it has a way of impacting society, it has the power of changing feelings, emotions and most importantly of telling a stories or exposing truth on issues that at times must be addressed. For example every nation has a National Anthem in which you praise your country and you speak about the unity, the brave and the liberty of a country that overcame. A National Anthem brings people together, but why? It reminds us of the freedom and patriotism. Music has that kind of power, and in the U.S music, historically speaking, was a way of expression among slaves causing a revolution in music today. Historically, slaves were brought here mainly from Africa. In Africa music was fundamental to Africans, it had always been part of their culture. Ancient music in Africa was diverse and it was passed down orally because they did not write it. African American music influenced other nations like the Greeks, Romans and the Egyptians. There are depictions of Africans dancing and singing made in Terracotta stone and metal that aid in the study of the history of African music. Horns, bells, drums and ancient xylophones are artifacts that have also been found, giving us a glimpse of the importance of music in Africa. Dance was most likely to accompany musical performances. Migration of Africans dispersed the different types of music throughout the continent and it was through the migrations of different tribes that new forms and sounds of music were made. It is clear that music for Africans was part of their lives because of the ability to use it as an expression of their lives politically and socially
