They sang plantation songs that became work songs and calls that helped communication between workers. While working in the plantation of the Missisipi, the Negro slaves used to sing in order to keep in rhythm with their monotonous manual work.Later when Negroes converted to Christianity, Negroes started to sing religious songs called SPIRITUALS that recalled English hymns
SPIRITUALS were CHORAL SONGSThey were songs sung together by all workers
