Thank you so much for your answers. I'm obliged to you for answering   my questions and for spending time on them. I'm sorry about my slow   reply, but my computer (actually the system) has crashed. Fortunately I've   not lost any data. I've already asked the staff to search for all papers concerning the topic and anything connected with it. I've also asked them to search for   information about black music influences on the genre in genera. If   everything goes well, I'll have access that material.
