	Music of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		African American folk music is a part of the Afro-American tradition, which extends across most of the Western Hemisphere, where elements of African, European and indigenous music mixed in varying amounts to form a wide array of diverse styles.
		Instead, the music of the United States is that of dozens or hundreds of indigenous and immigrant groups, all of which developed largely in regional isolation until the American Civil War, when people from across the country were brought together in army units, trading musical styles and practices.
		Jean Ferris, another music historian, called these composers "Yankee pioneers (who were) untouched by the influence of their sophisticated European contemporaries" and who were not entirely aware of the development of "tonality (as) the major harmonic system" of European classical music.

	Music of Samoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Samoas are a Polynesian island chain, currently divided between the independent state of Samoa (formerly Western Samoa) and an American territory called American Samoa.
		Traditionally, the fiafia was a musical or theatrical presentation celebrating a special event in which performance groups alternated in an attempt to outdo each others' efforts; in modern times, however, it is a hotel performance in which dances like the siva Samoa and sa sa are performed.
		After Europeans came to Samoa, two new instruments were produced and quickly became commonplace: the sielo and ukulele, both string instruments.
