TinDor	Gospel music is Gaelic? UK TV 21 Mar (113* d)	RE: Gospel music is Gaelic? UK TV 21 Mar	09 Jan 09
Hi, everbody, I just found this great site and wanted to respond to this post. Just to answer the question, I wouldn't call "Black Gosepl" music Gaelic/European. When people bring up "Gospel" music they're usually talking about or refering to a certain type of vocal/musical style and rhythmic feeling. Based on that, I would say Black Gospel music is musically "African". What would call European would just be hese early hymns the slaves learned and of the course the religion the slaves were introduced to. The musical style/qualities of "Black Gospel-Negro Spirtuals" can clearly be found in African music. IMO, the African-American guy Ruff, is doing a little with his claims of origin.
