THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN MUSIC
PREFACE
It's not our intention to make an exhaustive study on any particular music
style, as there are loads through the internet,
but rather to show a list of the main styles which were important for
the development of modern music grown in and from the USA and to show how
they've influenced one another.
From African music to Blues and Jazz, from Cuban Habaneras to Funk and Soul
to Rap and New Jack Swing, from Mento to Ska to Reggae and Dancehall, from
Boogaloo to Salsa, from Electro to all the Electronic music we have nowadays,
we'll explore how these patterns marked the evolution of modern music into the
21st century.
I would name a few musicians that led changes in this evolution in music
but wont extend much in that sense, giving only a general idea of who or how
certain styles evolved in the next ones in the chain of music history.
