<span>In the Arab world, which was the first to import large numbers of slaves from Africa, the slave traffic was cosmopolitan. Slaves of all types were sold in open bazaars. The Arabs played an important role as middlemen in the trans-atlantic slave trade, and research data suggest that between the 7th and the 19th centuries, they transported more than 14 million black slaves across the Sahara and the Red Sea, as many or more than were shipped to the Americas, depending on the estimates for the transatlantic slave trade.</span>
The inescapable fact that stuck in my craw was: My people had sold me ... . My own people had exterminated whole nations and torn families apart for a profit before the strangers got their chance at a cut. It was a sobering thought. It impressed upon me the universal nature of greed." And we might add, the universal nature of slavery.
African kings were willing to provide a steady flow of captives, who they said were criminals or prisoners of war doomed for execution. Many were not, but this did not prevent traders posing as philanthropists who were rescuing the Africans from death and offering them a better and more productive life.
When France and Britain outlawed slavery in their territories in the early 19th Century, African chiefs who had grown rich and powerful off the slave trade sent protest delegations to Paris and London. Britain abolished the slave trade and slavery itself against fierce opposition from West African and Arab traders.The slave trade<span>. </span>The African state that played a very active and profitable role<span> in the translantic slave was? The Kingdom on Dahomey.

<u>The answer is Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina</u>, an Italian Renaissance composer of sacred music that was born in 1525. In 1562, when he was 37 years old, the Council of Trent was about to suppress choral music in the Catholic Church when Palestrina presented three masses he had written with the hope of introducing a new style of music that would be more appropriate for the liturgy. One of them, <em><u>the famous Missa Papae Marcelli (Mass of Pope Marcellus, who occupied the throne of San Pedro only three weeks) was elected by the Council of Cardinals</u></em> who considered that it perfectly responded to his purposes, and when it was sung in the presence of the Pope Pius IV, he also accepted it and the Council proposal was abandoned. <u>This is the reason why Palestrina is called "Saviour of Church Music" during the reforms of the Council of Trent.</u>
