Post-Performance Discussion

"What African retentions did we learn about in Mr. Ainslie's presentation?"

"Did you have a favorite song or activity from the concert? Why?"

"How did parts of African musical traditions get to America and into the Blues?"

"What other musics, in addition to Blues, seem to you to have call and response structures in them? (Remember that instruments, as well as voices, can answer, too.)"
