The music goes far beyond the blues, it's a spiritual thing, it's healing, it's empowering. Terry "Harmonica" Bean is a Musical and Blues History scholar. He has traced his history back three generations. Born in Pontotoc Mississippi he is a true Bluesman with origins in Mississippi's Hill Country, his storytelling discusses the style for percussion and influences from West Africa, brought to the

American colonies by African slaves. Before the American Civil War, planters restricted slaves' access to drums and other percussion instruments, fearing the use of drums in arousing rebellion. The music writer Robert Palmer believed that after the Civil War, African Americans quickly renewed their long-suppressed percussion traditions: “the passage of the Black Codes, which in most states actually predated the Revolutionary War, did not automatically stamp out all slave drumming”. Scholar David Evans, an anthropologist who has done extensive fieldwork in the hill country of northern Mississippi, recorded black families there who play polyrhythmic music in their homes on chairs, tin cans, and empty bottles. He reports that among the area’s older black historians and drum musicians, making the drums “talk it”—that is, playing rhythm patterns that conform to proverbial phrases or the words of popular fife and drum tunes—"is considered the sign of a good drummer." This enduring tradition of folk polyrhythm played an important part in the development of Mississippi blues.
