Download or read book The Rhythms of Black Folk written by Jon Michael Spencer and published by Africa Research and Publications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since black music has been the primary carrier of African rhythms (both black religion and dance are dependent on black music), Spencer contends that it is from black music that black people glean what he calls "rhythmic confidence," a phenomenon he describes as essentially equivalent to "soul." He explains how this rhythmic confidence is sometimes casual and calm and at other times explicit and insurgent, such as in rap music.
