African Culture

African Culture is a lot different from American culture. For example music and dance is drastically different. In Africa music and dance is passed on by oral tradition. There dances are dances there family has danced in the passed. They also believe that there music is a avenue of communication. Song is a very important way of communicating. Even with the urbanization that has happen in Africa and the impact of the west there music and dance is still practiced. Not as much but it has not died away. Most of there musical instruments are hand built and are mostly percussion instruments. Dance is also a important form of communication. African culture is very different from the American culture.
