The different uses of the African American music like a channel of communication

Back in 1774, the most songs of black people assume the work on their songs. Levine says: 

“In 1774, an English visitor, after his first encounter with slave music, wrote in his journal: In their songs they generally relate the usage they have received from their Masters in a very satirical style.” (Levine. 2005: 592).

So, back in 1774 they used to sing based in the slavery. In the 1895, after the civil war and the black rights, they sang: “White man goes to college, Niggers to the field; White man learns to read and write; Poor Niggers learns to steal…” In the 1895, different to the 1774, they didn´t sing in relation with the slavery, they were singing for a social cause, because even in that time the racism, and the black exclusion, were present.

But the music can’t be based in a response or relation to the American people or the slavery. But, in fact, it’s true that the music is in direct relation to the slavery, and it becomes a channel of communication and expression for the Black people and culture. So the music, away to be only an instrument of resistance, becomes a channel were the African American people could communicate themselves, and with the American people. In this way, every gender of Black music is not only based on the rhythm or harmonics, it has a specific way of communication. The genders were created in the same relation that the Black and Withes were being communicating. African American Music evolves as the same time as the racial social relation.
