The only contribution to blues music that blacks brought was the call and response vocal technique and the blue note. The 4/4 beat comes from Native pow-wows and the chords and structure came from Europe. It's a melting pot genre and the media has just assigned blacks as the progenitors as a form of propaganda that goes back decades. They use it to pander to you but it's not real history.
Although blues (as it is now known) can be seen as a musical style based on both European harmonic structure and the African call-and-response tradition that transformed into an interplay of voice and guitar, the blues form itself bears no resemblance to the melodic styles of the West African griots. Additionally, there are theories that the four-beats-per-measure structure of the blues might have its origins in the Native American tradition of pow wow drumming.
I remember a group like this performed this song at my school when I was in elementary school in the 90s. Still can’t get this song out of my head and I’m 33 now!

Sir/mam this is Peruvian dancing ,it’s called danza de tijeras, and it’s been danced for over thousands of years in Peru, it may be similar, but ,it’s not the same at all, in the Ukrainian dance there is more jumping, in this dance they use there tip toes bend them and dance on them, while the shuffle and jump a little!
If you read "Under The Big Black Sun" and "More Fun In The New World" you find that the people of punk were also in their own clique. They were obsessed with being "cool" and that actual word is used countless times. You can argue that it was a clique, a subculture, and a true band of outlaws -- and the "people" were mostly interesting and made some incredible music. Even among that subculture, The Minutemen were a part of it, while also being ostracized in many ways.
The ones who 'settled' there like in the whole American continent didn't "add to the culture" they murdered indigenous people and enslaved African people! This wasn't an addition but a crime!!!
So glad they mentioned Dave Van DePitt. He was & the band were responsible for writing & arranging most of this music, that Marvin came back to once sober … and had no memory of it.
Hi Andes Manta! You may know me. I was at your most recent concert at Nottingham Elementary School. I am in currently in fourth grade. I loved your performance, especially the part where you were playing the jungle sounds.( I’m also from Latin America.) I hope you will make another performance at my elementary school. Bye!
