The influence of African American folklore on modern styles of Latin American music
Abstract
The article focuses on African American folklore and its influence on modern Latin American music, which sounds and develops not only in South America, but also in the United States. The subject of the study is styles of modern pop music in Latin America, which have various ethnic roots. The author proves that almost all the famous musical styles of Latin America (Afrolatine), such as salsa, samba, reggeyton or twerk, cizomba, rumba, afrobite, have African roots, and modern performers (Natalie Cole, Beyonce, Rihanna, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Tony Brexton, Madonna and some other celebrities) include rhythms and intonations of Afro-Latin American styles in their works.
