The subject of this album is the meeting of three musical traditions-African, Arab, and European-to create a fourth tradition of great richness and international impact, that of the Black New World. It is hardly surprising that Afro-American music is so rich. It draws form three major European sources-English, French, and Iberian (Spanish and Portuguese)-as well as several western African traditions... John Storm Roberts.
