The Zong massacre was the killing of approximately 142 enslaved Africans by the crew of the slave ship Zong in the days following 29 November 1781.

The Zong was owned by a Liverpool slave-trading syndicate that had taken out insurance on the lives of the slaves as cargo.

When the ship ran low on potable water following navigational mistakes, the crew threw slaves overboard into the sea to drown, in order that the remainder could survive. The owners of the Zong made a claim to their insurers for the loss of the slaves.

When the insurers refused to pay, the resulting court cases held that in some circumstances the deliberate killing of slaves was legal, and that insurers could be required to pay for the slaves' deaths.

In point of fact, coincidences themselves are usually just an artifact of perception. We humans tend to underestimate the probability of coinciding events, so our expectations are at odds with reality. And non-coincidental events do not grab our attention with anywhere near the same intensity, because coincidences are patterns, and the brain actually stimulates us for successfully detecting patterns... hence their inflated value. In short, patterns are habit-forming.

Although local is saying it in a piss taking way, he has a point.

[Kuffir]

no he doesnt

[Guest Chelsea Jack]

Were affs banging guitars and other classical instruments etc before colonialism?

Im happy to be proven wrong, but i dont believe you did.

[Zizouz]

odml was wrong to claim everything and anything for black people

 

but so are you man for talking with authority about something you know nothing about

 

 

 

Various kinds of thumb pianos have existed in Africa for thousands of years. The tines were originally made of bamboo but over the years metal keys have been developed. The instrument is known by different names in different regions of Africa, including mbira, mbila, mbira huru, mbira njari, hurdy gurdy, mbira nyunga, marimba, karimba, kalimba, likembe, and okeme, as well as marímbula (also called kalimba) in the Caribbean Islands.

 

 

 

The Balafon (Balafong, Balaphone) is a kind of wooden xylophone or percussion idiophone which plays melodic tunes and usually has between 16 to 27 keys which has been played in the region since the 1300s and originated in Mali according to the Manding history narrated by the griots.

Lol man thought the instrument named Marimba was a European word?

Deepest thing is to think the way as demonstrated above is not even ignorance, it is pure social conditioning to assume everything and anything associated with the Dark Continent is primitive.

[Captain Planet]

Oh yeah and that Samba music they love in Latin America, guess where that originates from...

[Sole]

wait hold on you man are making it sound like the rest of the world were sitting around discussing the weather

I'm pretty sure there were man in South America banging a couple things together to have a skank in the rainforest and obviously the Spanish have had the most influence on Latin music.

also lets no pretend like classical and folk music hasnt had a lot of influence on genres like country, rock, pop and even hip hop

Asians been making music for centuries as well and you can't tell me they haven't influenced a lot of hip hop

all modern music has influences from all over the world it's stupid to claim anyone race/region started it.

would still say 'pop' music today largely comes from di negro musiks when you look at the 'roots'

obvs everything influences everything else though

Good post

[local]

lol na no authority was spoken with i was jus askin

 

wheres the stringed instruments at was all i was sayin

 

jus googled ur marimbas and bafalons

 

in my head these would be filed under the 'stick' category as in im gona hit stuff with a stick

 

[Guest Chelsea Jack]

Di shot down

[dub]

the Kora?

[Zizouz]

never saw your earlier post about stringed instruments specifically

 

 

 

The earliest European reference to the kora in Western literature is in Travels in Interior Districts of Africa (1799) by theScottish explorer Mungo Park. 

 

keyword here being earlier and at the same time that being document by European explorers

 

judging but a few google searches past Africans weren't too big on these types of instruments but the above shows that they were capable of both creating and using them

 

if anything it shows that they maybe preferred a different type of music

 

more often used were drums, flutes, pianos

I'm gonna leave it here, I quite like this thread and would rather contribute to it positively
