Favorite Genre: My favorite genre from class is definitely the negro Spirituals. This is because the negro spirituals represented a time where blacks were unable to attain he proper credit that they deserved for the quality of music that they produced. Blacks were in a position of being oppressed. Due to this disposition, Blacks had to find other ways to enjoy themselves and entertain themselves rather than always entertaining the whites by doing the cake walks. Therefore, the negro spirituals became a coping mechanism to help entertain and retain credit for some of the great music that Blacks accomplished.
