The history of hip hop has come full circle from a rapping African tradition carried to the new world since the 1400s, to a youth culture and music movement when block parties were popular in New York City during the1970s, to a contemporary recreation by African youth who have added an African twist to hip hop from the United States.
The Pygmies’ short stature, and lack of modern clothing and amenities should not be used to label them as primitive, uncivilized, unintelligent, “half devil, half child” or “beasts with no houses.” The music of the Pygmies can teach students how hunter-gatherers treat, value and relate to the natural world without the constraint of land ownership, capitalism and overt self-interest.Ģ) In Kenya (East Africa), hip hop music is furnishing. This curriculum unit presents five (5) intertwined narratives working against the generalization of what most people assume about Africa, Africans, and African music.ġ) In Central Africa, the Pygmies - hunter-gatherers of the Congo Basin - are not one people with one type of music.

The “single story” is often applied with regards to Africa. In 2009, the author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gave a TED Talk titled “The Danger of a Single Story” with the warning: When complex human beings, situations or countries are reduced into a single story, we are perpetuating stereotypes, misconceptions, myths, and an incomplete picture. The unit has three main focuses to help students to: 1) understand that African music does not have a single identifiable characteristic due to the diversity of its people, languages and cultures 2) discover how global issues such as deforestation, decolonization, and institutional racism continues to impact both Africa and the United States 3) feel inspired and empowered through the appreciations of protest songs from contemporary Africa and the United States to create a musical interpretation of their own identities. Students will analyze maps, listen to music from playlists, and make musical instruments to explore the regional music of the following countries: Pygmies music of Democratic Republic of Congo (Central Africa), hip hop and youth culture of Kenya (East Africa), national identity of Egypt (Northern Africa), griots and storytelling traditions of Mali (West Africa), gumboot dancing and protest songs of South Africa (Southern Africa).
