AFRO-LATIN AMERICAN AND POPULAR MUSIC
AFRO-LATIN AMERICAN AND POPULAR MUSIC
The term Afro-Latin is used to describe the types of music from Latin American countries that were influenced by the black slave population that came from Africa and was forced to establish itself mostly in major post cities. When slaves were brought over, the only thing they really could bring with them was culture; whether it was music, dance or religious beliefs, they attempted to preserve as much of their rich cultural heritage as possible in their new country. This led to very interesting musical developments, as Latin American counties found themselves to be a melting pot of native individuals, slaves and European colonies. Generally, Afro-Latin music is simply music that evolved various cultures being immersed with one another, influencing one another musically.
