Why did the music of an oppressed people take over the world? The answer lies in the great individuals of the music; they gave voice to a range of emotions and feelings that touched a chord in the universal human psyche. The triumph of black music is the triumph of these individuals, who produced art that was unique to them and yet appealed worldwide. The musical styles that these great musicians drew from developed in a southern U.S. slave culture that had its own music. Between the end of slavery after the Civil War and the end of the nineteenth century, a variety of influences--church music, work songs, folk ballads, African and European dances, military and marching band music--combined to create, very broadly, three streams that, although they intermingled, were identifiable and distinct.
