This video aims to explore the origins of some of the features of traditional Appalachian music. Of course not every feature was covered, but these were the ones I could find clear videos of. Many of the comparisons may be superficial, particularly the African ones, however they are designed to suggest similarities rather than provide concrete evidence of direct cause and effect.
It's worth noting that I've heard a kind of "yodel" sound in traditional Irish language folk music which is VERY similar to the Appalachian "vocal feathering" heard at 9:44. Listen to this recording from 1930: doegen.ie/LA_1130g2
