This is one of the dopest articles I've read in a LONG time. It compares the vocal tones and pitch of traditional muslim music with that of slave era blues, it also compares guitar styles. This is SO amazing, produced by the Smithsonian.
Be sure to click on the songs, Athaan (Call to Prayer) and Levee Camp Holler and hear the similarities your self.
Thanks @SufiSal on twitter for this gem.
