Minstrel

Minstrel was a popular form of entertainment music in the USA in the 19th century. The minstrel music began to become known in the 1830s and dissolved in modern music forms at the beginning of the 20th century. Originally, the so-called minstrel shows were performed by white entertainment musicians who colored their faces in black and caricatured the alleged life of the African Americans on today's racist way. They imitated their language for the amusement of a mostly white audience and tried to imitate the African way of dancing in an exaggerated way. The music was issued as African-American, but was generally purely European fiddle music. She mimicked the kind of African-American musicians who had been playing the Irish Fiddletunes on the plantations and who played them in their own way. Especially since the end of the 19th century there were more and more Afro-American minstrel musicians, who mostly also colored their faces black. Als Minstrel wurde eine im 19. Jahrhundert populäre Form der Unterhaltungsmusik in den USA bezeichnet. Die Minstrel-Musik begann in den 1830er Jahren bekannt zu werden und löste sich Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in moderneren Musikformen auf. Ursprünglich wurden die so genannten Minstrel Shows von weißen Unterhaltungsmusikern aufgeführt, die ihre Gesichter schwarz färbten und auf heute als rassistisch zu betrachtende Weise das vermeintliche Leben der Afroamerikaner karikierten. Sie imitierten zur Belustigung eines zumeist weißen Publikums ihre Sprache und versuchten, die afroamerikanische Art des Tanzens in übertriebener Weise nachzuahmen. Die Musik wurde als afroamerikanisch ausgegeben, war aber generisch rein europäische Fiddlemusik. Sie imitierte die Art afroamerikanischer Musiker, denen man auf den Plantagen das Spielen irischer Fiddletunes beigebracht hatte und die diese auf ihre spezielle Art spielten. Besonders seit dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gab es immer mehr afroamerikanische Minstrelmusiker, die sich zumeist ihr Gesicht ebenfalls schwarz färbten.
