As we know, the musical instrument was obtained from the people of West Africa by African Americans. African Americans used the Kora in Afro-Folk music. Afro-Folk music was composed of many different instruments, aside from the Kora. It included instruments such as the bones, djembe, and the banjo, etc. All of these are used in their songs to express their emotions. Folk music was the outlet for African Americans to tell their stories while influencing all around the world.
