Neat!
A quibble, they didn’t mention the heavy French involvement (albeit it perhaps doesn’t scan within the “… Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, or British” line).
I like the snipe at “Swing Low Sweet Chariot”, which is (finally!) causing some consternation in the UK, where it is the (unofficial) anthem of English Rubgy. People have been pointing out its association with slavery for ages, but it’s only now the powers-that-be are said to be somehow considering the issue. Teh so-called PM, Borris Putin, I mean Johnson, has already blurted out the song is fine.

The video / animation reminded me of this one, Oscar Brown Jr, Bid Em In (animated video).
