Black British musical forms are syntheses of multiple diasporic and local traditions

Evidence

What is now known as jungle music in London is another “original” crossover (there have been many since British versions of ska, black soul, two-tone, and “roots” reggae) between Jamaican dub, Atlantic Avenue hip-hop and gangsta rap, and white techno (as bhangra and tabla-and-bass are crossover musics between rap, techno, and the Indian classical tradition). — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 847
