i choose the regional song sampler of the Southeast. I wasn’t too surprised due to the history of slavery in this portion of the United States.i was surprised by songs such as “Duermate mi Nino” and “Halimafack”. I always associated Zora Neal Hurston with the Harlem Renaissance and poetry so I was surprised to find her song in this category. While the Caribbean roots are prevalent in the south eastern United States due to slavery and migrations, Cuban roots were the ones I expected to show up more due to its dominance in Floridian cities such as Miami. I was also surprised to see so many immigrant and foreign songs on the list. I had thought it would be more prevalent in the north eastern United States in areas such as New York. Tennessee being a major location for music did not surprise me as it is seen as the home of country music. With a tv show that was named after Nashville and the location of the Grand Ole Opry, the information about Tennessee was one I was not surprised about.
