This was a piece created in Argentina! The music starts out calm at first and then transforms into a very catchy upbeat tune. I like this piece because of its harmony, catchy melody, and the emotion the performers put into playing the piece. This song sounds like a mixture of Latin and Western music styles. The blueprint of this piece seems like it is adapted from the Western World.
This piece from Chile has a very fast tempo! I can imagine someone getting a good work out trying to dance to this. There is a lot of repetition in this piece. It has a different time signature from that of Native American music. I'm not sure what the time signature is but I know it's not 1 beat per measure. These girls seem like they have good skills with the guitar. This song is upbeat and very busy. I was very amazed by the skills these girls had.
I absolutely loved this woman's voice! I wanted to hear what "Don't cry for me Argentina" sounded like with a singer and ensemble. I thought it was lovely. There is so much sincerity expressed from the instrument players and the singer.
I thought this song was sad, and also somehow relaxing. I loved the trumpets. This song was harmonic. It seemed like this Latin Blues song had a similar style to Western blues.
I really enjoyed listening to each song and music. The first one reminded me a lot of Astor Piazzolla's (a Tango composer)pieces. You should look him up, he has written amazing pieces! My favorite song on your blog would have to be "Don't Cry for me Argentina". It was such a lovely song.
ReplyDeleteThat video from Chile was great! I liked that it didn't have vocals, I don't think it needed it. I was just transfixed on the girl playing. (Ukulele?) Her hands were moving so fast it looked like she wasn't even hitting the strings. Very Cool. (P.S. I think the guitar player is a guy. :) )
