History of African and Latin Music |
|
| Africa is a continent with a wide range of ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity. A general description of African Music is not possible as there is no distinctly pan-African music, only shared forms of musical expression. Nevertheless, there are regional similarities between dissimilar groups, as well as popular trends known across the continent.lot of traditional African music is or was performed by professional musicians. Some of it is courtly music or sacral music. Therefore, the term "folk" music is not always appropriate. Nevertheless, both the terms "folk music" and "traditional music" can be found in the literature.
African folk music and traditional music is mostly functional in nature. There are, for example, many different kinds of work songs , ceremonial or religious music and courtly music performed at royal courts, but none of these are performed outside of their intended social context. Music is highly functional in African ethnic life, accompanying birth , marriage , hunting , and even political activities. Much music exists solely for entertainment, ranging from narrative songs to highly stylized musical theater. Similarities with other cultures, particularly Indian and Middle Eastern, can be ascribed primarily to the spread of Islam.
Latin American music , sometimes simply called Latin music , includes the music of many countries and comes in many varieties, from the simple, rural conjunto music of northern Mexico to the sophisticated habanera of Cuba , from the symphonies of Heitor Villa-Lobos to the simple and moving Andean flute . Music has played an important part in Latin America 's turbulent recent history, for example the nueva canción movement. Latin music is very diverse, with the only truly unifying thread being the use of the Spanish language , or the Portuguese language , in Brazil .
