Music and Me

Right know I have started listening to a band that has been around for almost a decade but I have just started to get into them. The band is called "The Neighboorhood" and my favorite song by them right now is "Reflections." The song is really catchy and I just like it for no particular reason. I like it because I can listen to it any time of the day and it puts me in a good mood. I wished I discovered the band earlier because now they aren't together and won't be going on tour anymore.
A piece of music that is particular meaningful to me is "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor. This piece of music is connected to me playing soccer with my brother. The song helped create a special bond between us because we would listen to it before every game in the car while driving to the stadium. This song helped create a bond with my brother and it grew us a lot closer together. Now that my brother is still in high school and I'm playing in college we still listen to the song before every game.
For some reason I don't understand jazz music and never really was a fan of it. I don't like music that is soft like that and never really found it catchy. I can see how many people would enjoy this type of music but it is just not for me.
A music that I wanted to touch that wasn't in the first three categories is the artist Drake. Drake has all different types of music and he can make you sad and then hype in the same album.

    It’s so cool that you listen to music from a band that’s been around for over a decade.

Salsa dance is a popular social dance that originated in the Caribbean, specifically in Cuba and Puerto Rico. Its roots can be traced back to the late 19th century, when African and Spanish musical styles began to blend in Cuba.   In Cuba, the African rhythms of rumba, son, and mambo mixed with Spanish music and dance styles such as the danzón and cha-cha-cha to create a new form of music and dance that eventually became known as salsa. Salsa music is characterized by a syncopated rhythm that combines elements of African and Latin music.   Salsa dance evolved from the Cuban son and rumba, with influences from other Latin American and African dance styles. The dance incorporates a variety of turns, spins, and footwork patterns that are executed in a circular motion around a partner.   In the 1950s, salsa dance spread to New York City, where it was popularized by Latin American immigrants. It evolved further in the United States, incorporating elements of jazz, swing, and ...

Music and Gender

 Music and Gender is a weird thing to me. When I grew up it didn't matter to me if I listened to a women or a man in some cases depending on how I was feeling I preferred a women. They have more soothing voices sometimes a good artist that shows this is SZA. When I think about women in music I think about people who have paved the wave for artist like SZA to be successful. A name that comes to mind is Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston was an American Singer in the 80s that was one of the most famous singers not just of her generation but of all time. In 2023 Rolling Stones ranked her number 2 on the greatest artist of all time. She is most famous for her countless songs like "I will always love you" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody." She is the first artist to have seven number 1 hits and she is the first women to enter the Billboard number 1. Houston is the most awarded female artist to this day. She was very influential in an area that is dominated by men she s...
