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

The fact this reporter just believes someone when they said they been doing it before black people did it instead of him using a shred of journalistic integrity (or logical thinking) to consider they could be wrong (or lying) and just adapted what they saw black people do to their own artform is the worst part.

It can never be we created something or others are inspired by us. It’s always, we took from someone else instead.

this, non African-Americans are always trying to claim our sh1t

again, you don't get tired of arguing off topic?

I’m staying on topic

Let me ask you again cause you clearly just fishing for reactions like a woman

How exactly is it a bad thing if hypothetically speaking a form of black music is inspired or was influenced by music in West Africa

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
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

Breh

To your number 2 point

Do you think in the eons that country has been around that they never had any music of their own?

That instruments like the banjo aren’t derivatives of other instruments at all?

The influence of American Jazz and Blues music on Moroccan music has been well cataloged since it began in the 1950’s.
:hubie:

We inspired them and they created a fusion music based on American music not the other way around. The fact 60 minutes made this a segment is bullshyt

Don’t move the goal post. The argument is they inspired American Jazz and Blues. They did not. Just because a group of people in Africa made music doesn’t mean it was transported along the African diaspora to America.

If this was an actual West African country you could have an argument but our ancestors wasn’t visiting Morocco for music lessons.

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?

it's always possible there are similarities, but what is known as the blues in America did not come from morocco

what kind of crack are these people smoking. they think people in America were listening to Moroccan music 100 years ago?

I say this as someone who never participates in diaspora war shyt, but this is a stretch
