It goes from the shores of the Atlantic ocean to the islands of Hawaii in the Pacific and from cold snowy northern Alaska to sunny Florida in the southeast.

These different people brought to their new land a wonderful mixture of culture. ( slide )Native American Music. Native Americans lived in America before Columbus arrived.

In minstrel shows the performers sang and danced and told funny stories. Listen to the popular American song “ Oh, my darling Clementine”. It is performed by Alexandr Lysenko. ( The song “ Oh, my darling Clementine”) Country music is very popular in the USA. Its lyrics depict the everyday life. The Americans like the song ”Old Macdonald had a farm”.
