Afro-American music is a broad array of musical genres that arose from the synthesis of African, European and Native American music. Afro-Caribbean music is a subset of Afro-American music, as is African American music. Most generally, Afro-American music and related terms are applied to those genres that arose from the meeting of cultures during the era of colonialism, when vast numbers of African slaves mingled with European colonizers and native peoples, as well as genres of popular music that came from these roots.
