{{main|Music of New York City}}
New York City has long been a center for musical innovation, home to the popular music industry in the United States since [[Tin Pan Alley]]. The Tin Pan Alley was a group of [[songwriter]]s in New York who dominated the [[sheet music]] industry for many years. Soon after, New York became a vital part of the burgeoning [[jazz]] and [[blues]] scenes and nascent record industries. [[Musical theater]] flourished in the city, especially on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]].
By the 1950s, New York had become a home for [[Latin music in the United States]], as the city became a pan-Latin [[melting pot]] of immigrants from across the Caribbean and South and Central America. They brought with them many styles of [[music of Cuba|Cuban]], [[music of the Dominican Republic|Dominican]], [[music of Colombia|Colombian]] and [[music of Puerto Rico|Puerto Rican music]]. The result was a new style called [[salsa music]], derived primarily from Cuban and Puerto Rican styles in the early 1970s.
The 1970s also saw the evolution of hip hop in New York City. [[Hip hop culture|Hip hop]] was a cultural movement that included music as an integral part. [[Hip hop music]] developed out of [[block party|block parties]] in [[The Bronx]], where [[DJ]]s isolated the [[percussion break]]s of popular [[funk]] and [[disco]] songs, and [[Rapping|MC]]s began [[rapping]] over the beats. By the end of the decade, hip hop had spread across the country and was beginning its march across the world. New York City was still the center for popular recorded hip hop, especially a style called [[East Coast hip hop]]. In the early 1990s, however, hip hop from the West Coast and elsewhere gain in popularity.
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a number of bands from New York City were and are prominent in the [[garage rock]] and [[post-punk]] revivals that are considered a part of the increasingly popular [[indie rock]] scene. These include [[The Strokes]], [[Yeah Yeah Yeahs]], [[Ben Kweller]], [[Grizzly Bear (band)|Grizzly Bear]], [[We Are Scientists]], [[The Bravery]], [[Liars (band)|Liars]], [[TV on the Radio]], [[The Cloud Room]], [[MGMT]] and [[Interpol (band)|Interpol]].
== Native American music ==
New York is the original home of the [[Iroquois]] Confederacy, which consisted of the "Five Nations", the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca. Social songs were traditionally popular among these tribes, with songs being relaxed and featuring a wide vocal range and range of instrumentation. Solo flute was also popular. Musicians such as singer [[Joanne Shenandoah]] in [[Syracuse, New York|Syracuse]] continue the tradition of [[Native American music]] in New York.
==Millerton==
Millerton includes many great bands who usually play at the Irving Farm Coffee House, The Eddies Collins Memorial Field, The Chance Theater Complex, or at various places around the area. A few of these bands include Follow That Taxi, Take One Car, and The Crooks. Millerton's bands are mostly experimental, progressive rock bands or they are on the lighter side and play acoustic music.
