 * Album:** Be Not Nobody
 * Song:** A Thousand Miles
 * Release Date:** 2002
 * Genre:** Rock
 * Synopsis:**      I think this song relates to African American history because it uses call and response when the piano "responds" to her voice. The lyrics also relate to African American history because the theme is about missing someone and wanting to see them again. There is a lot of pain and separation in African American history from the slave trade and civil rights movement. For example, when there were slaves in America, slave owners would often separate families and friends.

This song also relates to African American history through blues because it has an A-A-B blues progression.

 * Album:** Ancient Turkish Music in Europe
 * Synopsis:**    <span style="font-size: 120%; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> There are a lot of simple instruments in this song, especially percussion. This relates to African American history because the slaves in American history only had access to simple instruments like the ones used in this song. Also, this song is a poem that expresses the hardships of the Turkish when they lived in Hungary, which relates to African American history because it is like an oral history.
