Music of the slaves has its origins in the ancient field songs of Greco-Roman slaves. The tradition, which is primarily performed a capella (though other instruments, usually a Jew's harp or balalaika, are sometimes employed), was first captured on primitive recording equipment by Lomaxus in the outskirts of Athens in 57 B.C. The tradition was imported to America by Mediterranean immigrants. To this day, American slaves continue to play a prominent role in the music industry, the most notable recent example being Britney Spears, whose "Slave 4 U" reminded the world that this classical slave tradition still survives more than two thousand years after its arrival.

Popular music was named for Roebuck "Pops" Staples, leader of the Staples Singers and founder of the Boston Pops (and later the Staples office supply chain).

I was there, really.. oh, but you can't forget ripping off other musicians... and then the good ol' energetic youth who wanna let off steam... yeah.. probably.

Sure, you've got the origins down, but you're missing the obvious conclusion: if we want to create new and better art forms, we need to find new groups of people to systematically oppress.

May I suggest Ukbeks?

music was invented by a cro-magnon hunter almost immediately upon his discovery of C, the first known note, which he found in a milkcrate in his great aunt's basement. his melodies were rather stilted and droney as a result of his knowing only this one note, though both lou reed and venom later cited him as a significant influence. several years later, a cro-magnon gatherer discovered C#. unable to produce a pleasing melody with the two notes that were now known, men for the most part stopped making music of any sort for several thousand years until the arrival of yngwie malmsteen, a religious bluesman and slave, who discovered the remaining 10 notes in a flash of insight rarely equaled in human history.

Music was invented by birds. Sorry people, you can't take credit for this one.

The Lord sayeth, Let there be Bright Eyes! And there was. And He Said, "This isn't very good."

Actually, music was created by whichever creature farted first! So sorry, the mystery continues.

But the the toot probably WAS a C.
