The discovery of the Americas by Columbus in 1492 initiated a wave of European immigration towards the west. Many European nations set out across the Atlantic to explore, conquer and colonise huge territories of what are now known as the Northern and Southern American continents. So as to maintain the smooth running of these colonies, these nations brought with them black African slaves. It is interesting to examine how, under different influences and oppressions, the descendants of these slaves have developed to form significantly different cultures. Today, a very noticeable contrast can be seen between the populations of Central and South America when compared to the black societies of North America. This contrast is particularly distinct in regards to their music.
