The Beginning (1 jan 1776 ano – 31 dez 1799 ano)

Descrição:

Jazz music and jazz dance are traced to the rhythms and movements brought to America by African slaves. The suppression of the diverse African cultures led to the creation of a new culture with both African and American elements.

Although the use of African drums and ritual dances were prohibited, African slaves used foot stamping and tapping, hand clapping, and rhythmic voice sounds to cling to their cultural identity.
