Why do white American audiences mostly clap on one and three, while black American audiences mostly clap on two and four?
Yes, please.
African rhythms tend to emphasize the second and fourth beats of a measure, while European rhythms emphasize the first and third. When African rhythms were incorporated into American music, the clapping pattern of two and four became more popular among black Americans. White Americans, on the other hand, tended to follow the European rhythm of one and three. Over time, these patterns became culturally associated with different types of music and different communities.
