The second passage mentions the origin of jazz in Louisiana and compares it to music forms in other places (Bomba in Puerto Rico, Maculelê in Brazil). Both passages use historical details (facts about slave selection and music forms) to show that in different places (Louisiana, Puerto Rico, Brazil) where sugar - related work (implied in the first passage as it's about sugar plantations) was prominent, the lives of the workers (enslaved people in the first passage, and the connection to music which was likely a part of the workers' lives in the second) had similarities.
