Skip is an unknown quantity at this point
performance that comes out of the african culture tends to be dynamic and visceral rather than cerebral.
the body may end up anywhere at any given time.
this doesn't negate the importance of air support but rather that the air must be available during a host of body contortions and even dancing and stepping movements.
any system that ties one's air and breathing to a particular fixed posture
is not going to work in black music.

Anatomy and physiology are color blind. They are not dictated, nor influenced by the color of the skin, the ethnicity, nor culture of the player.
