Notes- It wasn't just one genre there were many mixed °country °pop °bit of jazz It was a bridge between African culture and American culture Can we consider music to be literature, maybe we can but then there's a feeling that it cant. I cant really explain it because each have a story behind them, music has, literature. Also each have a meaning. I think we can, others might say it don't but really there's no right or wrong answer here. Is there a difference between a novel, a poem, a rap, a song, an opera and symphony? I really don't see much of a difference between them. Just that some have singing, musical instruments, fast beat does not change that there alike a in a way. There's so many poems that make you feel something as well as rap or a song. What do you think?
