Gullah music culture

The music culture of Gullah is mostly used for celebration in church music. Their music is more about nature and spiritual things. Because of the slavery period, the Gullah people are angry at their ancestors.They resent them for coming under the contol of Americans and then being forced out by the same people that enslaved them. Gullah people are mostly agricultural; they live their life with nature and try to develop it the best that they can. Most of Gullah people are Christian, they go to church, pray for life and they are proud of their culture even though it is not really modern. Because the Gullah people are majority christian they share their love of church through music. For the instruments, drum is one of the main ones that make the melody sound wild and they also add words like “yeah or ah” to a certain part of the song. The performers wear their traditional clothes while they sing and dance with each other. They usually perform a duet between a male and female singer or a group of male and female dancers. The performance is outdoors and their audiences just stand around to make a big circle to show the friendship between each Gullah person. They clap along with the rhythm of the songs too.
