When we talk about evolution, we are saying the gradual development of a thing or putting it as a transformation from one form into another form. So now relating it in the music line which is the transformation of a style of music into another form and it can be in terms of the pattern and also the kind of instrument been used, anything that actually require gradual development is tagged evolution. Now we move to the topic now 'How evolution has affected african style of music' which is in quote "AFRICAN STYLE". Firstly there are some song which i do listen to now which have been done for a long period of time and i heard some instrument which i tagged olden. The kind of drumset which was used in the video were not producing a things compared to this present one which i will talk about.

Even during the period before the invention of electric drums, there are some somgs that will be edited in a studio and all those sounds will be added on the system so the expert in that field decided to create a something similar to the one they always add on the system in the studio and costructed an electric drum which really make a lot of sense, the sound which it produces is really a nice one and it have actually increase the kind of music production which is been done in africa this period.

Now lets talk about the style of play, the song that is been listened to in the rural area is actually not like the one in the cities but due to the evolution of technology which is already getting to the rural area gradually, music are been produced in relation to the everyone been able to get along with the song whether you are in a rural area or urban, there will definitely be the style you love among all the ones we have that is why there is diversity in the music style, all thanks to evolution in that aspect.

Before coming to the last part of the evolutional talk, lets look at the means of recording song back then and compared to the now where technological advancement has come in, the heavy instrument used in the studio just to pick voice no matter the range, first the condenser microphone which actually reduce the noise and can pick voice clearer, splitting of instrument voice on just one device and balancing each of them. The evolution has made recordings so easy in a way that the end result are always top notched and those heavy equipment are worth it. Positively evolution has affected the style and means of african music and i really enjoy that fact.
