It shouldn’t be surprising that an ethnomusicologist researching African/African American fiddling traditions and a French-Senegalese immigrant researching African Diaspora/Black Muslim Slavery would have a take on the origins of the Blues being Islamological/Afrological.
Which says a lot about the tools/background knowledge that researchers bring with them and why most American Music Studies is inherently Anglo-Eurocentric and Colonialist.
