Poster of a 1938 exhibit in Düsseldorf, "Degenerate Music"
Negermusik ("Negro music")[1][2] was a derogatory term used by the Nazi Party during the Third Reich to demonize musical styles that had been invented by black people such as blues and jazz. The Nazi Party viewed these musical styles as degenerate works[3] created by an "inferior" race and they were therefore prohibited. The term, at that same time, was also applied to indigenous music styles of black Africans.
