    I do.

    What bothers you that you can’t accept that Blues music was influenced by Celtic music as well?

  2. GARIFUNA says:

    I dont believe so.

  3. rockandroll1110 says:

    That’s a bad analogy.

  4. rockandroll1110 says:

    Whatever….

  5. oramikleepunk says:

    Ok…keep whitewashing and have a nice weekend.lol

  6. GARIFUNA says:

    Dont bother explaining.. Thats like telling a prisoner whos been incarcerated 50+yrs. Your free too go. Enjoy the OUTSIDE of these walls. The prisoner wouldnt know how to function. He can only adjust to what he knows, so he’ll do anything to keep what he knows. For he is afraid of change and rather keep deception reality!

    I’m not a “redneck racist”, I am a “redneck”, but I don’t hate black people. Why would I hate someone for something they can’t control? I’m not “white-washing”, I’m telling the truth.

    Look up Gaelic psalms.

  8. oramikleepunk says:

    I went to Rockandroll1110 page and the guy is a redneck racist…that is why he hates black people.He is trying to whitewash anything with black people in music lol.

  9. rockandroll1110 says:

    You’re ignorant.

  10. rockandroll1110 says:

    I will look them up. Everyone is racist to some degree. Blues is influenced by Celtic music.

  11. oramikleepunk says:

    Your celtic people hate the British anyways.You will never look up the Xalam,ngoni,Kora, and Akonting….They are African bantu folk guitars.You don’t even want to learn like a true racist.This is known at every blues museum…you are making a fool of yourself…blues chords are not the same as Celtic music lol.If you hate blues,don’t listen to their music.Get a life.I won’t post or read the next on you send…get a life.

  12. GARIFUNA says:

    Listen My friend, Dont bother arguing with Rockandroll1110 he has no predicated facts only baseless theories with an agenda. Him and many media whore Americans choose to learn omit history. Dont bother explaining Bantu language or the Bantu people in west and central african music orgins. A certain group of people Despise truth and rather give it a harmless “white lie”.

  13. rockandroll1110 says:

    Just because someone is British doesn’t mean they automatically know history.

    African slaves in America were influenced by Celtic, African, and Islamic musical styles, that is FACT.

    Celtic music has more “soul” than Blues, you do realize that “soul” music came from the Celtic-Gaels, right?

  14. oramikleepunk says:

    Most American don’t even know history,but they love their media.

  15. oramikleepunk says:

    The brits know history…Americans only know omited history.If you like to learn …got look up the Xalam,ngoni,Kora, and Akonting…they are african stringed guitars…that is what the slaves used to make music before they came to America.Celtic music has no soul nor rhythm…all that came from bantu west african music.

  16. oramikleepunk says:

    No,Blues was influenced by west African bantu music.You know nothing about the instruments of bantu Traditionsal music.The Xalam,ngoni,Kora,and Akonting are African folk guitars.You eur-centics and Afro-centics lack history.

  17. rockandroll1110 says:

    Black slaves in America were influenced by Celtic music.

  18. oramikleepunk says:

    I agree this is racist,some of these post are racist.

  19. oramikleepunk says:

    How did Celtic music influence black when blacks were playing folk music in african before they were taken to america as slaves?

  20. oramikleepunk says:

    No it’s bantu wast african…you guys are racist and are trying to rewrite history…you like the music,but not the skin tone of the people.

  21. oramikleepunk says:

    Do you know anything about Bantu west african music?That is the roots.

  22. tubesteakbooky says:

    Too bad he doesnt play with the boys anymore.

  23. monkfishkev says:

    White boys telling us all about the blues?

  24. rockandroll1110 says:

    It plays two pieces of music to show their similarity,blacks and Irish and Scots were slaves,so,it’s logical that Celtic music influenced blacks. How are they on the same level as 9/11 conspiracy videos?

  25. penguinx42 says:

    Ok, I watched it. A video that plays two pieces of music next to each other without any context or historical research is supposed to prove something? Those”african roots denialism” videos of soulssurvivor’s are on the same level as 9/11 conspiracy videos, or those videos that try to show the moon landing is a hoax. In other words, not worth any of my time.
