Tracing Black Music To The Roots, is an anthology of poetry that is shining the light on the influences of black music in American culture and giving it the proper credit that it deserves. You will read many truths about the genius, tenacity and the strong spirit of Black Musicians of the past who paved the way for the music artists of today. Sharran C. Taylor, a.k.a. Kween Yakini, will take you on a journey that begins in ancient times leading you up to the current times by speaking on some intriguing facts about the origins of the Blues, Gospel, R&B, Rock and Roll, Hip Hop and much more. Tracing Black Music To The Roots, is honoring the diaspora of Mother Africa and the legacy of Black music that she enabled by passing down her traditions of the African "Griots" who were the keepers of African history and their use of "call and response" accompanied by ancient musical instruments such as the "Ngoni" and the "Djembe" today known as the Banjo and the Drums. Through her gift of poetry, Kween Yakini, is delivering poetic verses like a maestro who is conducting a symphony of genres, mixed with undertones of Blues, Gospel and Negro Spirituals. Accordingly, the author is showing her gratitude and respect to some of the greatest Black musical legends by demonstrating why these musical giants must always be revered. And please be assured that this book will be flowing with the author's signature rhythm and rhyme style of poetry that combines her improvisations, fluctuations, and some much needed information. Indeed, this will be the kind of book that you can proudly display on your shelf alongside your collections of vinyl records, mix-tapes or CD's, cause' it's definitely going to become a classic!
