Doing a search today for different kinds of African music, I came up on a person that really seems to enjoy the many different African music styles, and his name is Joseph Odindo. Until I came up upon this site, I was not aware there were so many different styles dependent of the region of Africa people came from.
Joseph Odindo expresses that some of the musical genres of northern and northeastern Africa, and the Islands off East Africa share both the traditional African and Middle eastern traditions. Joseph Odindo also expressed that when the Africans moved around the countries, they brought their music with them. The African music and dance forms along with the Caribbean and Latin American music genres like the rumba and the salsa were founded by the African slaves.
