    thanks for sharing! I’m a Capoeira practitioner and even though Capoeira was developed in Brazil, the African roots are strongly present and much alive today in the music’s call and response pattern.
    I’m fascinated by how it went to both the north and south America’s and developed differently and yet maintained its roots so well.

    Don't see the verbal only...
    See music. accompaniment. Piano, trumpet, sax... they do call and respond

      Not exactly... Instruments compliment each other in a song, but there isn't implied that Call and Response is being used, it's quite specific in it's method.

      Dead wrong! Lol, 2:41. God damn, simply research the definition of swing music. Listen to the opening of Beethovens 5th. Call and Response.

    In Morocco there is a type of music called Gnawa music (that my father’s family play) that was brought to Morocco along with Sub Saharan African slaves from countries in the Sahel region of Africa in the 1600’s all the way up to the early 1900’s

      I took a bird course on the history of rock music in Uni and when the prof taught us about call and response, I started noticing it in so many music genres from Salsa, Jazz, Rythm&Blues, Rock, Reggae, HipHop, EDM, Country, all the way to Marching/Military songs and shanties. I think we as social animals naturally evolved to find call and response attractive.

      Octavian,
      it is true. Early settlers in The US from England and Scotland brought with them forms of call and response church singing. Gailic Psalms singing is one example, which a colorful, improvised, microtonal style of singing that is one of the roots of Gospel. Scottish women also sang what is called waulking songs, a call and response singing style that is set to the rhythm of hand washing wool. All this was imported to the US early on and would have certainly meet up with similar African traditions.

    There are far better example of call and response than Bruno Mars. Look to Gospel music . Particularly Pentecostal music from the COGIC & Apostolic Churches.

      Thank you for your comments. I made this to engage a 7th grade class for a job interview. I'm sure there's a lot better videos out there for this topic.
