I listened to Rev. Jeremiah Wright teach/preach on the music in our African related culture.
He spoke from Psalms 37:23-38 as a background. He mentioned the work, play, love, worship and other songs songs we sing and most importantly the meter in which African based music is rendered. And then he gave, well sung, musical examples of the music.
He spoke of how we have learned the diatonic music scale of seven notes, when we had a pentatonic scale of five notes.
Any musicians out there, music theorist or any who just know about spirituals, blues, R&B, and so on I invite your comments.
