Традиції

  • Cape Breton fiddling in Nova Scotia preserves Scottish Gaelic repertoire and bowing that shifted or faded in Scotland itself.
  • Quebec's reels are played with the feet: the seated player taps a rhythm — podorythmie — while bowing, and the crooked tunes add or drop beats where the dance asks.
  • Appalachian string band music carries Scots-Irish tunes reshaped by the banjo, an instrument of West African descent.
  • The Mississippi Delta gave the blues its twelve-bar frame and its bent, between-the-notes pitch.
  • New Orleans brass bands come from the city's parade and funeral tradition, where the second line follows the band.
  • Mexican son is regional rather than national: son jarocho on the Veracruz coast, son huasteco in the northeast, mariachi's son jalisciense in the west.
