Well, the greatest Southern Band of the U.S. was full of Canadians, The Band. Only Warren Zevon was a Southerner. I guess white boys came up with some decent African, the country, music. Must be descended from Africans.
We need more Steel Drums. (Sorry, a little off topic.)

The Worldview of Africa has been colored by the Victorians and that painting of a continent devoid of culture persists to this day. Paul Robeson had his passport taken away because the British Government objected to him saying African countries should be ruled by Africans. How silly can you be? The Empire must plunder, pillage, kill, starve and oppress, no matter what. All Civilizations are founded on the blood of millions.
There are 57 African Nations and the continent is three times the size of the U.S. Stop referring to Africa as if it's a single entity or country. The Dark Continent is alive with music, dancing, art and literature.
African Nations invented Culture!
