The fact that many cultures have call-and-response suggests something about music itself and common human patterns of producing it. There might be European sources of some elements, but it's a bit of a stretch the basic elements of black forms of music in the U.S. to European origins.

Yes, including Missionary Baptists, who were probably influenced by the Scots Irish Protestant worship of the American South. Probably not a coincidence?
