Black Musical Hybrids.
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) A hybrid of anything is the offspring of "genetically differing parents;" or one of "mixed origin or composition." For a change Mr. Webster is not too far off. A musical hybrid, then has a similar definition, a musical "child" of different parents. In this discussion we will examine some of those musical hybrids as well as looking at what influenced their development. People may not know about the "art" element of African American music, but that's true of the society at large. Classical music, in general, has nothing to do with the listening habits of the average American. When you combine that indifference with separatism or racism, no wonder the African American share of performances or broadcasts is considerably smaller. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
