USC Looks to Preserve Southern Black Music Forms
COLUMBIA, S.C.
A new research center for African American music at the University of South Carolina may become a hub for the study of Southern Black music and its effects on American culture.
All genres of traditionally Black music, with the possible exception of hip-hop, can be traced back to the rural South, says Willie Strong, an assistant professor of music and a director of the Center for Southern African-American Music.
