READING THE SOUNDS OF THE WORLD
There is a world of music out there!
What we hear on the radio or see on TV
is only a small part of all the wonderful music that is waiting for us.
Most of us probably like pop music and have our favourite performers,
stars or bands,but many of us also want to discover new sounds and rhythms.
Here is a brief look at some of the exciting musical styles from around the world.
Blues music has a long history.
The blues is a way for people to show who they are and what is in their heart
People have been playing the blues for many years,
but the music has kept many of its characteristics.
The blues comes from African songs
that people used to sing when they worked and during festivals.
The African songs met American music when African slaves were brought to the US.
The blues has been part of African-American culture since then,
and it is still an important part of American culture.
Other musical styles,like jazz and rock music,have all come from blues music.
Today's American culture contains many different musical styles.
People still listen to blues and rock,but they also listen to hip-hop and rap.
Hip-hop and rap have much in common with blues and rock,
but they also have their own characteristics.
Hip-hop music often combines parts of other styles
to create music that will help people hear new things in old music.
Perhaps the most impor tant characteristic of rap music
is the way the artists sing. In rap music,
the singer or "rapper" will speak or"rap" the words along with the beat.
Another important style in today's world of music is Latin music.
Latin music--music that uses taditional styles from Latin America
has spread all over the world.
In the US,where there are many Spanish-speaking people,
Latin music is a big part of the culture.
It has always been popular in Spanish-speaking countries
and today stars like Santana and Ricky Martin are known throughout the world.
There are of course many other interesting styles of music.
There is a wide variety of new music to be discovered in every corner of the world,
so the next time you look for a tape or a CD,
don't just look for Chinese or American music
open your ears to the sounds of the world!
