Yoncé "Goes Country" - Black America's Country Roots

It is interesting to realize that African Americans have been at the beginning or forefront of what is now known as Country Music, when they began by creating and singing soul-searching songs during slavery by singing out their thoughts, feelings, and misery in their musical thoughts accompanied by a musical instrument known as the banjo, which originated as an African musical instrument. These songs have a history which is known and recognizable through being passed down from generation to generation and taught knowingly or unknowingly to the white slavers or eventually other country whites who eventually became country artists. This is a historical fact which can be traced back to the past. That's what makes this informative casual conversational study so important and teachable. Take a look and give a listen to this fine study and share the information with family, friends or others to help set the record straight. Perhaps then the society of today may become more knowledgeable about Black achievements and understand how and why someone like Beyonce can choose to boldly make their entrance into the genre at any place and time she chooses.
