If you listen to the official music of Washington, DC "Go Go" Music, you will hear that it, like much of the Caribbean and Latin America Music, has been influenced by Africa.

Great video. Major historical correction though: enslaved people were taken from Western and Central Africa not Southern Africa. Countries such as modern day: Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Benin/Togo, Congo, and Angola.

Some were taken in Malawi and Mozambique aswell and shipped to Central America...
