Black music is a term encompassing music produced or
inspired by Black People, this includes Sub-Saharan African music traditions
and popular African music as well as music genres of the other African Diaspora
including Afro-Caribbean music and African American music. In the Black
community music serves as an instrument of unity and revolution. The most
popular genres include blues, jazz, funk, soul, R&B and most recently
hip-hop and trap. Another important fact is that music in Black community has
its visible roots in Africa. The ability to act as a binding factor also
provides the Black culture with a strong sense of connectivity. Most prominent
Black  artists in Black history are
Bob Marley (Reggae), Fela Kuti(Afro-Pop), Jay z(Hip-Hop), Usher(R&B) and
Trap music could be seen in artists like Wiz- Khalifa, Desiigner and so on.
Music in Black community is just much more than entertainment.
