= = = __ **INTRODUCTION:** __ Students from [|Science Leadership Academy] (SLA) have been studying African American history. One thing we have learned is that liberty and equality are central themes in African American history. People all over the world have been concerned with liberty and equality, and various cultures have different ways of addressing each.

We have also learned that a lot of American music has its foundations in African-influenced musical traditions that include rhythm, melody, harmony, and call & response. These musical elements have intersected with their counterparts from all over the world. The result has been such genres of American music as gospel, blues, jazz, rock, funk and hip-hop.

Our ethnomusicology project is designed to demonstrate how African American history has influenced, or been influenced by, music from all over the world. You can click on each of the links to learn more about each genre of music, listen to music, or read lyrics. Enjoy.
