African Tribal Music Rocks The New Millennium
It seems that, over the past 20 or 30 years, we’ve progressed from one music genre taking over each new decade – 60’s and 70’s rock, 80’s pop – to gradually seeing (or hearing, as the case may be) much more diversity in popular music.
Techno, pop, rock and R’n’B fused together to create mainstream music in the 90’s. During the first decade of the new millennium however, tribal music has joined the mix. Some of the rhythms and instruments that were left to the ‘new age’ crowd in the past are now successfully making more obvious inroads into popular music by blending with beats that we are more familiar with!
Now that tribal dance music has become readily available to a larger audience, why shouldn’t it be more popular?
Tribal drum music – as part of its very nature – has an instinctive rhythm. Traditionally used as an expression of emotion, African tribal drum music symbolizes a heartbeat that brings up a certain frame of mind in the dancers. Emotion transcends race, culture and religion, and communicates to us now, just as it did to tribal people dancing on the African savannah centuries ago.
Side effect of the slave trade
Tribal dance music has played an important part in the evolution of many European and Western music genres. When we listen to European music styles, it should not come as a surprise that the slave trade brought together hundreds of different types of tribal dance music that began to exert their influence on various music genres. Tribal drum music became an essential part of the progression of modern music genres, from rock’n’roll and jazz to techno and dance
The Twist & the Jitterbug
Tribal beats joined with popular music to create dances such as The Jitterbug and The Twist, which travelled from our ears straightdown to our feet without bothering to ask for permission—the only way you can stand still when they take hold of your spinal column is by nailing your feet to the floor. Even the more stolid folks decided that was too painful, so they chucked the hammer and boogied their way into miniskirts and blue-suede shoes.
Contemporary tribal trance dance music
After its journey through the twentieth century, tribal dance music is no longer just a background sound in the modern world of music. Recording artists like Ariel Kalma, Professor Trance and Adesa have put together tribal music from far-flung places such as Australia, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Africa, North America and Central Europe with beats suggestive of rock, pop and R’n’B. For example, African voices, didgeridoos and Tibetan chants meld with smooth saxophone notes and guitar riffs to produce a brilliant tune overflowing with liveliness and movement.
Music is a living thing and we can only hope that, as it continues to develop, people and nations will develop in the same way.
The Path Before Us
The first decade of this new millennium has been rife with triumph, but also with tragedy. It is our hope that we will follow the flow of music into the harmonisation of mankind’s many voices into one melodic sound, as we become more accepting of diverse beliefs and ways of life, as people all around the world both grieve and celebrate together. The tribal music that played such an essential role of our past is now showing us a road map for the future.
