  1. I know that afercain music they use drums. They can dance and sing and play insterments at the same time. Sometime they can make alsome songs. They can also be so alsome when they sing.
    They can sing in different languges. They can make all different styles. There are many like jazz, hip hop, and pop. I love their hip hop because they have differnt style like the way the dance or the way they sing. I can sometimes think the other way they can sing or dance. I love their dancing for sure. And sometimes their singing. but that is what i think that might be wrong but that is my thoughts.

  2. I know that African music has lots of beats and some of the countries in Africa use diffrent instruments than many others . Like Egypt just imagining it in my head I can hear a bell , a drum and many other instruments . Music in a typical northern tribe would be a drum , some sticks and people singing and dancing in the middle of a circle and in the center there would be a fire made from the men of the village / tribe . I know this because I have heard a lot of African music . When the people are dancing in the middle there will also be a person singing or people singing .

  4. I know that the African music is usually sung in African but can also be translated by a person who knows African and is able to translate into whatever language(s) needed. I think that African music plays the drums, they sing a lot, and they use cultural instruments in their songs. Some songs are meant for only a specific tribe and are dedicated to the chief. You can also use the songs to tell stories to the younger children.

  5. All I know about African music is they used some African in loin king. I also know that they use rainsticks, large wood bead gourd shaker and balafon. I know this stuff because I’ve done research on African music before. I think they can make some really cool music. And my mom and dad brought some African music home with them when they went to Africa . I think Africa music is cool.

  10. I think the instruments that they use in African music are bongo's, and I think that they use lots of wind and string instruments to play their kind of music. Well my reason why is because I've heard some African music and I can tell that there are some wind instrument like maybe a type of flute. Then my second reason is that I also can hear at type of string instrument like a guitar and maybe different kind of string instrument. Then the reason why I think that is because you can hear it mostly than some of the other instruments, and sometimes you can tell if you listen really good then you can hear it being played.

  12. I dont know much about African American music, but I do know some. I know that there are drums in African American music and I also know that they use high pitch singers and it is in a differant language other than English. I also think there would be some flutes, I think the flutes would be man made from bamboo or local trees and the beat raises and lowers during the song.
