Being South African and all I'd be very interested to hear your friends stories! I kinda thought we were on the level of the rest of the world as far as general racism goes by now. . . Probably not mind you given our history.
Anyone post Miriam's version of the click song? The Click Song
I dare any white person to attempt that :)
Oh snap. No racism intended.

I think it's a shame that, although jazz incorporated some of the most interesting features of African musical structure, it didn't really spread to any other genre, as far as I know.

blues is a derivative of african slave music.
rock and roll is based on blues.
african influences can be said to have inspired most of the earlier versions of almost all of the contemporary music today in North America.
