African Music is a collective result of the cultural and musical diversity of the more than
50 ethnic divisions of the continent. It is largely functional in nature, used primarily in
ceremonial rites, such as birth, death, marriage, succession, worship, and spirit
invocations. Some traditional African music include the Afrobeat, Axe from Salvador,
Bahia and Brazil, Jit of Zimbabwe, Kwassa kwassa from Zaire, the Apala by the Yoruba
tribe in Nigeria, and the Jive of South Africa.

Latin American Music music of Latin America is a product of three major influences
-Indigenous, Spanish-Portuguese, and African. The indigenous music of Latin America
was largely functional in nature, being used for religious worship and ceremonies. Some
of Latin American popular music forms are the tango, bossa nova, samba, son, and
salsa.

Popular music literally means “music of the populace,” similar to the traditional folk
music of the past. As it developed in the 20th century, pop music (as it has come to be
called) generally consisted of music for entertainment of large numbers of people,
whether on radio or in live performances. Some examples of popular music are blues,
jump blues, jazz, and gospel music with the Western swing and country music.
