Basically all popular music with roots in the USA is basically "Black" rooted music going back to the 1850's. You can say w/o a doubt that Aframs layed the foundation for what we now know as global popular music because black american music got appropriated and reworked on a global scale across basically every continent.
2nd Branch
The other branch would be black latin americans specifically Afro-Cubans and Afro-Brazilians.
3rd Branch
In the West Indies,Trinidadians were the most influential in the 20th century through Calypso until Jamaican popular music really got going in the 1960's. Since that time Jamaica has been king of the West Indies.

Basically if you take those 3 branches out that Iisted above, there would be no popular music as we know it. Even stuff like this, that's perceived as ultra white by those not in the know
has black antecedents
