Maroon music : ウィキペディア英語版 | Maroon music Maroon Music is a genre involving people of African descent that were not born on the continent creating songs in an African language (as opposed to their first language). It is named after the Maroon (people), African refugees who escaped from slavery in the Americas and formed independent settlements. Just as the Maroon people created their own societies in lands foreign to them in attempts to retain their freedom, Maroon music is an attempt by African American artists to reacquire their Mother tongue through writing music in an indigenous African language. Maroon Music subject matter centers around stories about Maroon leaders and other historic freedom fighters of African descent, Maroon groups, peace, unity, and righteousness. In the intro to Maroon music artist, Adetokunbo’s first album "Maroon Music" the history of the genre is explained: "African refugees that escaped slavery in the Americas and formed independent settlements were called Maroons. The term can also be applied to their descendants. The same root word also gives us the English verb "to maroon".
