The first inhabitants to settle the land that is known today as the United States of America
are the Native Americans, where they played their first music on that land, and then, starting
in the seventeenth century, waves of immigrants from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain,
Germany and France began in large numbers, bringing with them their musical styles and
instruments. In addition to the musical traditions brought by black Africans of their own,
these waves of immigrants melted different cultures.
