How did rock music emerge?
Rock music was developed in the 20th century but originated as a result of African American slavery in the 17th century. It is a very open style of music and is made up of the amalgamation of several different black and white musical styles. ...
Many American slave owners did not allow blacks to use traditional African instruments, nor could they play or sing their native music. ... It is because of this ban on their musical ancestral link, that a new African American style of music was created. ...
The main type of early music sung was blues. Blues music was improvised and was sung about anything. ...
The African and European music merged to become what is now known as the blues. ... This style of music is also called gospel.
Once narrowly defined as religious, gospel has transcended those limits to become a profound force in American music and popular culture. One major style of music that is still retained and was brought to America during the slavery period of the early 1600s to 1865 is the call and response pattern in which a leader sings a line and the entire group answers.
