The whole style of speaker systems loud enough to fill a neighborhood is rooted in reggae, as is dubbing. The style of music those late 60s/early 70s DJs were using.
It already existed amongst Djs in the States, mainland. In your mind poor Jamaica was technologically ahead to America. Herc had a great sound system and collection of songs. That in a nutshell separated him, plus he had a young crowd. This crowd was quintessential to the development that we know as Hip Hop culture. However, there was b boys before the breakbeats and breakdancing.

Over the years we have discussed all these evolutionary stages.

"By 1971, Disco King Mario was an eminent DJ in the Bronx. He was known for his superior sound system and his love for combining music and a good time. Mario came up during the era where you had to be tough enough to bring your equipment out, because of how prevalent gangs and violence were in the Bronx in the early 70s. But the Disco King was respected all over, from neighborhood mothers to the grimiest gangsters. He is a major part of the creation of Hip Hop."

It came from both.

Black Americans and Caribbean Americans lived next to each other in New York. They didn't need to like reggae to be exposed to the set up how to play music on that scale.

But your signature tells me what I know already.

So what did people from the Caribbean develop and was typically to Hip Hop? lol

And still, you haven't addressed lying about what I've stated in my debate with you and think maps and links make up for it. I'm adding nothing but you're still responding? Says quite a bit about you lol

I'm not the troll here, but I'll be the actual intelligent person in this exchange and place you on ignore since you cannot stop insulting in place of being able or unable to prove the lie of telling me something that I said in order to discredit.
You do realize you’ve posted nothing but for your opinion. We had these discussions long before you showed up. lol

We’ve put all of it together before these early pioneers and participants came out confirming all of it.

I even went as deep as researching the Jamaican input.




In the shadow you shall remain as a king.

I'm not talking about Africa :mjgrin: we already know this whole hemisphere is the disaspora

Oh African American big bands? Meaning jazz? A genre that draws from European harmony as well as African rhythm? So would you say jazz is European by this logic? :mjgrin:

Blues harmony, scales, rhythm and tonality:ufdup: aka ADOSian to the core:youngsabo:

Are you focusing on me or on the truth.

Lets say that was the case and i was schooled in this thread. The point is you were also schooled, yet you are the main one babbling a dissenting opinion with no facts to back it up. That changes nothing :mjlol:

European harmony is still a part of jazz as is blues.

I guess jazz is European :manny:
LOL That one was comical.


You mean to say key or chord progression that Black Americans incorporated in their styles of music? A chord progression eventually can be anything that advances the variety in notes. Since there is no traditional European music sounding like the music Black Americans developed. This alleged claim holds no barring. If that you claimed was acutely true, how come they demonized Blues and Jazz, like all other Black medical genres, if these Black musical genres had so much European harmony influences? It makes no sense the you really start thinking about it.

"Jazz harmony at its structural and aesthetic level is based predominantly on African matrices,..."

"The lowered pitches of the blues scale are also closely related to the African quarter tone scale. The flatted 3rd and 7th are uncommon in the European tradition and add an element that is completely unique to the music. Other performance practices, like playing the guitar with a knife blade or playing the banjo with a bottleneck would likely produce sounds similar to those produced from African instruments."


The rabbit hole goes deeper.

“Black musicians came across the Atlantic from the United States, many from Harlem, which was already a “jazz capital.” They went to France and found their talents in high demand. Soon, black-owned nightclubs were springing up in Paris, especially in Montmartre. Among the many African Americans who found a far more receptive audience in France was Josephine Baker.”

"Conversely, many white Americans viewed returning black soldiers as a threat because of their military service and exposure to new ideas about race and equality, especially in France."
