17to85 Posted May 9, 2017 Report Share Posted May 9, 2017 Absolutely ridiculous. "Cultural appropriation" has happened since different cultures first started interacting with each other. Sharing elements of each individual culture enriches all cultures and should be embraced and celebrated. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English language resulted from "appropriations" of three or four, or maybe more languages. Better purge all the German and French words and go back to Chaucer's English.

JCon Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 Without "cultural appropriations" every culture will stagnate. Without cultural appropriations, we don't get Elvis. Why can't we have Elvis and Chuck Berry? Mark F and SPuDS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark F Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 (edited) We all know how great New Orleans music is. It's famous for mixing up music from different parts of the world, Caribbean, African, American, European. Pretty sure there are quite a few native rappers. Quote In 1949 New Orleans jazz musician, and Fats Domino producer Dave Bartholomew brought the tresillo directly from Cuban music into early R&B. New Orleans producer-bandleader Dave Bartholomew first employed this figure (as a saxophone-section riff) on his own 1949 disc "Country Boy" and subsequently helped make it the most over-used rhythmic pattern in 1950’s rock ‘n’ roll. On numerous recordings by Fats Domino, Little Richard and others, Bartholomew assigned this repeating three-note pattern not just to the string bass, but also to electric guitars and even baritone sax, making for a very heavy bottom. He recalls first hearing the figure – as a bass pattern on a Cuban disc—Palmer (1995).[27] Edited May 15, 2017 by Mark F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
