A
Immigrants to the coastof southern Appalachian Mountains of North America brought the music and instruments of the Old World along with them for nearly 300 years. They brought some of their most important valuables with them.To most of them this was an instrument. Early Scottish settlers enjoyed the violin because it could be played to sound sad or li
vely. The Irish violin, the German dulcimer, the Italian mandolin, the Spanish guitar, and the West African banjo were the most common musical instruments.

According to Bill Malone in Country Music U.S.A, country music was “introduced to the world as a southern phenomenon.”In the South, folk music was a combination of cultural types, combining musical traditions of a variety of ethnic groups in the region. For example, some instrumental pieces from Anglo-Celtic immigrants were the basis of folk songs and ballads that form what is now known as old time music, from which country music descended. It is commonly thought that British and Irish folk music influenced the development of old time music. British and Irish arrivals to the Southern U.S. included immigrants from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and England.
When many people think or hear country music, they think of it as a creation of European-Americans. However, a great deal of style-and of course, the banjo, a major instrument in most early American folk songs-came from African Americans. One of the reasons country music was created by African-Americans, as well as European-Americans, is that blacks and whites in rural communities in the south often worked and played together.
