First they came for hiphop, now they're saying the Blues came from Morocco

You didn’t prove shyt.

Ok champ you got it.

Completely derail a thread because you can’t admit your wrong.

I didn’t derail shyt just because I don’t agree with a bunch of spineless, blubbering, spirtually dead ass c00ns

You calling people c00ns and you thought Morocco was in West Africa.

That really doesn’t correlate at all but lets just agree to disagree

Nothing wrong with the article. This site has just devolved into a cesspool of crab ass nikkas.

Yeah, I was about to watch the 60 minutes video segment, but the opening paragraphs in article and the timelines mentioned seems to be what people are missing. Would hate to think that dudes here aren't aware that the Arab slave trade preceded the transatlantic slave trade, and that some of the same ethnic groups were captured and transported in both directions.

This can't be life.

Tariq's reaction when he hears about this......

Family, have ya'll heard about the new Blues documentary I'm working on....

My goodness

No one is denying that, but….

1) Morocco isn’t a West African Country
2) watch that video, just based on the instruments and performance alone it’s clear it’s been heavily influenced by American blues and jazz.

They have clearly been inspired by American musicians but the video is how we were inspired by them, when odds are that is bullshyt

No odds of it. It is bullshyt. People just say Blues, but what they don't realze is that there are different versions of Blues. What we call Blues now days which is essentially Delta Blues, evolved on plantations and in the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta (Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas). Delta Blues are not the same as Appalachian Blues which is from Georgia and the Carolinas. Appalachian Blues is the closest version to what was brought from West Africa. The shyt they are calling Desert Blues is actually borrowing from Delta Blues fused with Rock and Roll which is also Delta Blues. As stated earlier Delta Blues evolved essentially in one area in the United States.

interesting

Journalism is dead

 

[ThatTruth777]

inspire the American Blues, wtf?

 

[Premeditated]

Its actually not a stretch at all to say that Black American music has ties to West African countries

I don’t get how thats a bad thing

Mororocco is west african?

 

[CopiousX]

this is the music they claim inspired the Blues

it sounds more like lating american music.

Bob Wisdom: You can trace the blues—you can trace the blues to the Black cultures from Senegal, Gambia, Mali, who then traveled North into Morocco, the Black races. When you come here and hear the Gnawa you feel the same thing that we feel with the old-time Blues.



They're not saying white ppl did it. They're saying black started it in Africa.
Black Americans twerk, but even that has African roots.

Am I missing something?

You are not outrage enough. They said that those same Black Africans brought that shyt over there to Morroco as slaves

Blues having some west African roots is not a hot new take.

They don't read or don't care to comprehend

I hate when you have non musicians trying to define music history.

That’s what ethnomusicologists are for.

THATS LITERALLY MY JOB!



Ain’t nobody in Africa was playing the blues. And don’t mention some damn retard ass scales as to your logic.

It’s a purely American experience from which it came from.
