Umm.. I don't think so i mean after the Europeans came in and assimilated/Destroyed the Native American culture. That and decided to exclude it from text books a couple hundred years ago because they thought it was unimportant i don't think it is possible to compare African music and culture to something that is nearly non existant. except for a couple hundred independent dieing reservations in the US and those musical rythms that do exist i doubt are that complex.

ReneNative American has had a direct influence on African American music as a result of the cultural exchanges during slavery. The rhythm pattern is closer than anything you will hear in west African music, which is totally different. Gospel is primarily influenced by those two cultures. Many people mistakenly attribute everything to West Africa. However, when you hear west African music, it is not the same. If you listen to the vocal style of traditional Gospel Music and prayer, you will hear almost all Native influences.
While in general terms there isn't a lot of overlap between African and Indian music, relative to the composition of American Jazz, both became increasingly important influences on many jazz musicians in the 60's and 70's.
Cultural motivations for interest in these musics include the emergence of independent African nations, beginning in the late 50's; black Americans embracing their African heritage and studying all aspects of African cultures, and the increasing interest in Indian philosophy/religion in Western cultures.
Musically, as artists moved from European harmonic ideas into modal forms, they found cultures with well-developed systems of modal music (particularly, of course, in Indian music, which is structured around thousands of identified ragas, which are roughly comparable to modes.)
While Art Blakey is recognized as the first major jazz musician to have traveled to Africa to study, his application of African musical elements to his music was limited. Artists like John Coltrane and Yusef Lateef made more committed efforts to integrate sounds of Africa and India into their music. Trumpeter Don Cherry is often considered the "father of world music" for his wide-ranging studies of musical styles and instruments.
both have the same array of instruments used and have developed in many parts of the country. some differences are that they sound very different from each other and also have different tones used in their music.
