U9-Music-A2-Blog-African Influence

When I consider the types of music with African influences, I like jazz, R&B, rock, and pop which includes almost anything from the 1980's. In fact, some of my favorite songs come from pop such as Michael Jackson's Thriller, R&B such as Terence Trent D'Arby's Wishing Well, and rock such as Duran Duran's Hungry like the wolves. These songs highlight very distinct artists whose works are still unique and forever classic. They are exciting to hear and each of these songs has really good rhythm. Each is very well written and each has original arrangements. They make me feel really good when I hear them but my favorite is Thriller, especially with the video which just makes the song come to life.
