Song #1



Song: Accidents can happen (2006) Band/Musician: Sixx:AM (Nikki Sixx, James Michael, DJ Ashba, and Joshua Stephens) Genre: Classical Rock Synopsis: Well I believe that this song does not directly relate to African American history but it does in general. The title already says some of it. Accidents can happen which is self-explanatory. Accidents just happen to everyone and before in the past a lot of people made accidents. Now all of us just need to forget the past because most of the things before were accidents. I consider all the slavery that happened a accident of god. We cant do nothing about the past now so we just have to forget.

Song #2



Song: To Bad (1922) Musician: Joe "King" Oliver Genre: Jazz Synopsis: This song relates to African American history because it was played by a African American that was know as the king of all jazz music. His name was Oliver which is my name. ☺ This song was played for the first time while African Americans were not appreciated as free citizens in the US. This kind of jazz music gave African Americans and everyone hope for their lives. It allowed people to live on with hope for the rest of their lives and the future.

Song #3



Song: Lamin Kamara (1700>song) Musician/Group: Samu Cheifdom Genre: African Tribal Synopsis: Well this song is pretty cultural to the people that live in the northern province of Africa called the Sierra. That is near the Guinea border. This is pure African music. All kinds of African music descended from this kind of beats and music. That gave Africans the hope and spirit to make more music and to inspire each other in different things. It was used for rituals and celebrations.
