African musical practices were not permitted on plantations because they were seen as a way for enslaved individuals to communicate and organize resistance. Slave owners feared that music could be used to incite rebellion or maintain a sense of cultural identity and defiance among the enslaved population. Therefore, these musical practices were often discouraged or suppressed to prevent uprisings.
