...for the most part over time for the reasons stated just below. (As an aside, it's interesting to note that steel drums came about as the result of a similar policy in Trindidad.) I think more significant than this though, is that in the Carribean and South American countries the African music was mixed primarily with Spanish and Portugese European traditions, two things that were largely absent in North America until fairly recently. Add to that the fact that each group of transplanted Africans was isolated from each other for centuries, and it seems natural enough that different traditions would morph from each of them.
