摘 要 ：美国黑人文化是美国文化的重要组成部分之一。作为非主流的黑人文化总是对美国乃至全球的主流文化有着非同一般的影响。美国黑人文化中不可抹灭的非洲文化因素为其带来了独特的魅力。音乐和舞蹈,作为黑人文化的灵魂,不仅在流行界占有重要的地位,更是流行趋势的主导因素。美国黑人在音乐和舞蹈方面极具天赋,而在美国这片新大陆上的苦难生活又赋予了他们更多的灵感,使他们创造出了许多非凡的音乐与舞蹈。他们的音乐和舞蹈因非洲黑人的文化根源而独具特色，而非主流文化的附属物，从而能真实地反映了美国黑人的历史和社会生活；反之，正是这种音乐和舞蹈造就了美国黑人文化的独特魅力。本文旨在通过对黑人音乐和舞蹈的分析来探讨美国黑人真实的社会生活状况。

Abstract
Afro-American culture is one of the most important parts of American culture, which, though a non-mainstream culture, makes a great impact on the mainstream culture in America, and even all over the world. Afro-American culture is endowed with unique charm by its African factors. Music and dance, the soul of Afro-American culture, are the leading fashion, and play an important role in the international fashion circle. Afro-Americans have inherent talent for music and dance, and since they settle down in this new land, the arduous and bitter lives give them more inspiration to create many outstanding music and dance. Afro-American music and dance are unique with Afro-American root instead of an appendage of the mainstream culture, and truly demonstrate the history and social life of Afro-Americans. And the uniqueness of Afro-American music and dance is the root of the popularity of Afro-American culture. The paper aims at the exploration of the social lives of Afro-Americans through an analysis of Afro-American music and dance.

Introduction
Afro-Americans are one of the most important parts of American society, and they have their own culture and tradition. The Afro-American culture, though the non-mainstream culture, has incredible influences on the mainstream culture. Music and dance are the soul of Afro-American culture and play an important role in the fashion circle; they even impose great influence on the artistic development of the whole world. Afro-American music and dance function as the mirror of the lives of Afro-Americans in the mainstream society.
The first group of slaves was sailed to Virginia colony as goods in 1619 by a Netherlanders’ ship. Since then, the cruel slave trade began, and more and more slaves were sold to America. Since the first group of slaves was sailed to America, the culture originating from Africa was also brought to this new land. It was just like a black seed sowed in this new land. Initially, it was buried in the deep soil, and no one cared about it. Gradually, this black seed germinated quietly. At first, the young plant was so weak that no one noticed it. But it still grew up quietly day after day, and it became stronger little by little. About a few hundred years later, the young plant became strong enough, and it was not weak any more, but it became so lush that it began to appeal to more and more people. In fact, the black people cultured this plant by their tears and blood so that it became pretty flourishing and charming. As the soul of Afro-American culture, their music and dance fully demonstrated the painful process of growth of Afro-American culture, the uniqueness of Afro-American culture and the real social lives of Afro-Americans.

美国黑人文化的灵魂—音乐与舞蹈 - Conclusion
Afro-American people had inherent talent to sing and dance, just as their ancestors in Africa, and they used verbal or the oral tradition to convey their history. Back in the days when slaves were sailed to the new land, they were far away from their hometown, and they were not allowed to use their own languages. The pitiful slaves were cut from their roots; accordingly music and dance became the only links with Africa and their native culture. They integrated their own traditional culture with the culture in this new land, and developed a new culture —Afro-American culture, which contributed to the uniqueness of Afro-American culture. During those bitter times, black slaves used music and dance as ways of entertainment and outlets of their feelings. But later, they got freedom, so a great deal of black people crowed into northern cities to find jobs. Their new lives were still hard and bitter, and music and dance remained the only vent for them to express their dissatisfied feelings and sadness. Later, some talented black people even took music and dance as their profession, and music and dance became commercial tools from the individual amusements.
In fact, Afro-Americans were congenital musicians. Their music, no matter in the dolorous tone, or in the bright and intense tone, could always touch the audience’ soul, and get responses. The lyrics, especially for R&B, Rap and Hip-Hop music, are very sharp with black people’s slang, reflecting the issues about racialism, violence, sexy corruption directly. Afro-American music was characterized by this kind of direct vent of feelings, which could touch the audience deeply by its special expression. As for Afro-American dance, undoubtedly, Hip-Hop was the most popular style, and the reason why it got such furious reflection by the youth was that exciting and tough body languages could help them convey their feelings as much as they liked. As a matter of fact, it was admitted that African elements, especially the elements of music and dance, made a great contribution to the popularity of Afro-American culture.
Initially, any form of Afro-American culture emerged as the non-mainstream culture, and was discriminated by mainstream, and suffered repulsion by white artists. However, very soon it stepped into the mainstream, and became the hottest art style. Certainly, it was impacted by other mainstream cultures, and changed a little bit in order to go with times. In fact, from the growth of Afro-American culture, especially Afro-American music and dance in the new soil emerged a new people who had a confliction on self-identity, and who are not only black people from Africa, but also Americans growing up with this new nation. In this sense, Afro-American music and dance, as the soul of Afro-American culture, met its destiny successfully
