Country music, often seen as a white rural American music genre, has roots deeply woven into various musical traditions, many of which were significantly shaped by African-Americans. When country music started as a genre, it found inspiration from a wide range of musical styles, including many Black ones. This African-American influence is prominent within numerous aspects of this music genre, starting from the choice of instruments and songs to the vocal and instrumental techniques.
