It serves no useful purpose to try and disentangle the musical elements from their new cultural matrix and trace them backwards, because they are intermeshed and reorganized on entirely new and specific lines. ... the "hybrid" has become a new species .... It is, of course, historically interesting to try and establish a music's parentage and, in cases where sufficient historical evidence is available, to establish credible hypotheses as to the precise contributions of the parent musics.
In such cases the historical data can sometimes be confirmed, partly by musical analysis. But musical analysis cannot by itself yield this information about parental traits. This is not only because the object of investigation is always a new, independent musical synthesis that, despite its mixed heritage, must be regarded as a primary music worthy of study in its own right. It is also because the new music is now housed in a new social context with its own set of extramusical meanings.
