African slaves were stripped, in a large degree, of their home cultures. As a group, they started making a new culture of their own. They made songs for work, for codes to meet, and for entertainment. As slaves were not formally educated in the arts, there was no training in music technique. They would often bend or slur the notes being played, and there was a fair amount of falsetto in the singing. These things all lent themselves to the later traditions of Jazz Music.
