Answer:

Because of the cultural heritage that music carries.

Explanation:

The African songs were brought by the slaves to the American countries, where new techniques were developed with new instruments, forming diverse musical genres that characterized the life of black Americans before the American civil war.

Music was used by Africans and African-Americans as a way of expressing desires and needs that were ignored due to adverse political and racial climates.

The songs used by enslaved Africans were not composed for commercial purposes. They were created to transcend and transform. Music was used as a tool to achieve something greater for the good of the community.

For this reason, African Americans believe that because of this cultural heritage, it is in music that they can draw strength and inspiration from the works and the incredible ingenuity, perseverance and creativity expressed in music. These songs are proof that a great light can emerge from the darkest moments of life.
