Deglassco, (edited ) Enslaved Africans brought diverse cultural practices with them to the Americas. Among these was the "ring shout,” a fusion of dance, music, & ritual. “Shouts” offered a way for the enslaved to preserve their culture, & find strength & connection during difficult times. This dance has been practiced for generations & has had a significant impact on Black-American religious & musical traditions.
