Get ready to dance through music history! Black culture has shaped the music we listen to today. From gospel and blues set the stage for rock ‘n’ roll, while jazz has this crazy ability to cross all kinds of borders with its beats.  African rhythms mixed with other musical styles gave birth to hip-hop, R&B, funk, and loads more. Black culture’s influence is everywhere in modern tunes—it’s the heart and soul of what we listen to.
