What is Africa to me ?

“What is Africa to me ?” To me Africa is more than just another continent on the world map. Africa is home to all man kind. Africa is me. Africa is the home to all my heritage and is the reason why I am who I am and proud to be. I say this because when I think of Africa I think of music preferably House Music. House Music is a genre where there is a steady 4/4 kick, usually a clap on the 2nd and 4th counts, and has a high hast on the off beats of the kick. Not many people realize that House Music or better yet Disco comes from us mimicking what we hear in music from Africa. The tribes of Africa created these sounds as a way of coming together in there spiritual element. Just as if you were to go to a club where House Music is played you would see people dancing as if they were possessed or as many would day catching a holy ghost. This is mainly because the music is created to make you want to dance and feel free. This is what Africa is to me.
