Just me and the blues

For the past two weeks in history class we have been learning about how ancient African dynasties like the Mali people influenced Spanish colonies with  stringed like instruments which later reach south America and parts of north America. I think that these are the roots that eventually led to American music like jazz and the blues. Most music today can find some root in African American culture. Now on the matters of when original American sound came out is any ones guess, Most will say that American music started with jazz and the blues which is fairly accurate and i believe that it is the most original sound that America has. You can argue that Americans were the first to attempt this new sound which would lead to other genres like rock and roll, rap, r&B, and pop. American sound and music is all original and our own. Other nations have tried to copy this sound, some succeeding while other failing, but for the most part this sound is original. When you think about respected artist in each of the fields i have just mentioned most likelier than none they will all be American or African American. The original music sound in America has always been original and who knows what new trends will start.
