Black music evolved every genre it touched, or was touched by. The relationship between Creator and Creation is told within the genius and genesis of African music. It is embodied within the women who birth the songs and the singers, whose hips, and thighs are the cadence and the
clavé centering the polyrythms through the tangle of pubic hairs to the core, the essence of birthed energies that detangle the contradictions of those who conquered Africans and Africa without the fore knowledge of the deep spiritual powers embedded within the Earth from realms the white people are glimpsing now through science's lenses.
The African woman naked is music, and Life. The African man is music, and Life. Two combined forces of Nature tamed by no one. Contained by no one. If you need to believe it is contained it will appear so, but Africa's soul belongs where it needs to be creating new life. This is the soul of Africa, and her children. - Gregory E. Woods,
Keeper of Stories 2013
