difference Cheap True Religion Jeans between African
Von zhangwei1231, 08:21In both North and South America African slaves were forced to acknowledge the oppressing religion. In the North; British Protestant Christianity and in the pandora outlet south Spanish Catholicism. How this might have changed the ways the slaves were treated is hard to say. It would be assumed that the Protestants might have had a more liberal frame of mind than the Roman Catholics. However research has suggested that the Spanish were more open minded and the British more controlling. Perhaps then, the colonialists political point of view wasn't so much derived from their religion but more their culture and heritage. It may be the case that the Spanish were a lot more understanding of African ways of life due to their close proximity to Africa. Also it must be noted that in previous centuries, the Arabic empire had occupied Spain. Much evidence of this can still be seen today such as the Alhambra in Granada.
In terms of the African reaction to western religion they were generally known in the south, to simply associate their own deities with Christian saints. This is another great example of Black slaves maintaining their culture despite all odds. "Afro-Creoles religions constitute powerful sources of inner strength enabling them to reaffirm their African identity" The combining of African and Western religion fused to form a new religion in Latin America often known as 'Voodoo'. Study shows that Louis Vuitton Handbags despite the names of Western Saints "Catholicism has very little to do with Voodoo", implying that essentially Voodoo is derived solely from African concepts and that music is a key part of African religious ceremony. The maintenance of the African's religious expression would mean the further maintenance of their music. Today we can see many obvious African influences in the drums and percussion Latin American. Despite a significant amount of development and evolution of both the drums and rhythms, many of the fundamentals remain. This would suggest that Latin American slaves were allowed to keep their drums. Peter Manuel, author of 'Popular Music of the Non-Western World', suggests that due to the innate African influences of Latin American music, the musical practices of these black slaves must have been "tolerated by colonial authorities". This may well have been because the authorities enjoyed to hear their music but certainly because they found it to increase the work efficiency of the slaves. "In this respect they differed from their Northern European neighbours in the USA who lacked the Mediterranean peoples cosmopolitan balance and required an ideology of virulent racism to legitimise expression of blacks in an otherwise democratic state"
In conclusion, we can clearly see a difference Cheap True Religion Jeans between African influences in music in North and South America. In the old Spanish colonies, African influences are far more prominent, due, as has been discussed, to the open-minded nature of the Spanish colonialists. In the north the African slaves where more oppressed and therefore they expressed their cultural influences elsewhere, leading to new genres in Jazz. It is interesting to note that Latin and North American music fused together in the 50's and 60's to create genres such as Salsa and 'Cu-bop' (Cuban bebop), this could be Pandora Jewellery seen as a reuniting of African cultures.
