Even though there are no words or lyrics, African Americans (and a lot of other races) tell stories through beats not words like we do in america. In africa there are these people called griots. Griots tell stories through song sort of like blues where you tell stories about your life or the life of others through beats and songs. This song is one of so many that prove that african music influenced different branches of music. <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);"> __ANYTIME,ANYWHERE-__  <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">media type="file" key="02 Sudani.m4a"<span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">   <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">name of song: sudani  <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">place: Sudan  <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">year: 2005  <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">artist: Abdel Gadir Salim All-Stars  <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">genre: World  <span style="text-align: left; display: block; background-color: rgb(253, 252, 253); font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"><span style="color: rgb(243, 43, 198);">synopsis: Well when you listen to this song at first you hear a drum beat. Then after a while you hear an overlapping beat. kind of a salsa beat or reggae. this relates back to African American history because African Americans were one of the first to actually live "music" in a sense. And these kinds of music that the listened to and made branched out to different musics like salsa and reggae. =
