General Outline from Audio Sermon
I Corinthians 11:19 - 'bad' music
proves there must be a 'good' music, too.
This music has always been a physical approach because of the rhythmic element.
The study here is "Where" was this type of music in relation to the world. It traveled from Africa, to Haiti, to America and out to the world. The music remained in it's primitive fashion as it caught the world in it's travels.
This "music" always associated with nudity, sexualities, sacrifices and death. Slaves brutalized and bewildered from cultures in the past. Their charms and stomps not only evoked spirits of the gods, they animated and immortalized them. Slaves from African West Coast (with their demon gods and voodoos, etc. were imported to Haiti (Caribbean Islands). Their music, dances, and beats mixed with Catholic beliefs and practices and made voodoo ceremonies centering their worship of the snake-god Damballa through singing, dancing, and spirit possession.
After firmly set in Africa based on drums and dancing, and as they worshipped a god or devil, the ultimate experience was to have their bodies possessed by that devil. Dancers always saluted the drummers before they started their rituals. Without the drummer, the ritual could not progress. It is the pulse which links all people to one unit - sending the body into a slow serpentine undulation which begins in shoulders to spine to legs and hips. In 1804, Haiti revolution came to America (New Orleans). Dances of New Orleans started in slums, bars, whore houses, etc. Music called Samba and Mambo were named after gods who offered sacrifices during rituals. The music continued to influence America as a whole country.
The music was then called Jazz and now is the main "Hamite" element in all of the world's music. The music features complex rhythms and polyrhythmic, percussive sound and a wide variety of ensembles, all of which has always and still does affect the flesh. The music remains closely linked with dancing, both of which re basic to many ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations. Messages & stories are told by imitating the rhythms and pitch fluctuations of words. It is a language that speaks to the flesh - not God's way of communicating! Rock Music grew from Jazz.

Jews and the Bible:
The Bible contains an accurate and detailed use of music from God's
own people with over 500 direct references to music. Music was an active
form of praise to God. Musicians were used when construction projects
were going on; they carried their musical instruments with them when they
went to war; there were massive groups of people in the desert with their
musical instruments. David was a great musician as well as a great
King. The musical instruments were not elaborate and did not involve
any harmony. They played and sang melodies. Musicians won battles
and prophesied - because of the Lord's involvement. Music was used
when things were difficult in life. Music was used to teach children
about God's works. Stringed instruments, tabrets, cymbals & harps
were instruments used.
The Orientals without the Bible:
Their music is closely linked with religions, dance and drama.
Music is an indispensable accompaniment to daily activities, magic rites
& ceremonies. Music is often employed to communicate messages
and to relate the culture of these people. Their music is transmitted
orally. Little written notation is used. Singing is the most
important way of performing. Vocal timbres vary widely, including
shouting, crying, whispers, sighing, humming, yodeling, and singing through
the teeth. Instruments are influenced by religion. They have
symbolic association with specific gods and goddesses. They may be
shaped like birds, animals or fish. These religions are carried into
other parts of the world through their music and is very subtle.
There is much association with nature.
