Once captured, African slaves were typically taken to coastal forts and trading posts along West Africa, where they were held until they could be sold to European traders. From there, they were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas through the Middle Passage, a brutal journey that often resulted in high mortality rates. Upon arrival, they were sold at auction to plantation owners and other buyers, primarily in the Caribbean, Brazil, and the southern United States. This forced migration was part of the larger transatlantic slave trade that lasted for centuries.

Why didn't Slave masters allow slaves to play traditional African music?

Traditional African Music carried information within the music. Information within a drumbeat could organize an army. General Sherman used drums to communicate with slaves during the Civil War. Slave owners did not want the slaves to go to war against them. They did not allow the slaves to use traditional African music because they did not want a slave uprising.
