The creativity of African Americans has given the world a wealth of musical genres, from spiritual to R&B. Dogman is a gangsta rapper from L.A.’s Compton ghetto. SaRon Crenshaw, an East Coast blues guitarist, gives his own twist to the tunes his ancestors used to voice their grievances in the cotton fields. And Seaton Hancock, a saxophonist whose range goes from hard rock to jazz, plays with spirit in Harlem bars. From rainy New York streets to L.A.’s gang-ridden Compton, from bars to church choirs, African Americans pour out their soul through music.
