Concert Report

The concert I decided to write about was held in San Diego during the Gay Pride Parade on July 15, 2017. It was called the “Pride Music Festival” where patrons were able to enjoy multiple groups, of a similar genre, at a venue in beautiful and classic Balboa Park. Some of the performers were as follows: En Vogue, Salt n Peppa, Tinashe, Estelle, Cakes da Killa, Kodie Shane, Jessica 6 and Cazwell. The musical collaboration was similar in techniques, styles, context, content and theme spirit. I went with my mom and my uncle to enjoy this celebrated event.

Despite growing up in a mobile home where she lived in relative dysfunction and poverty with her parents, young Elliott was known as a class clown in school and never gave up her passion for singing. While still a teenager, she joined the R&B group Fayze that was signed to Elektra Records and renamed Sista; however, the group’s debut album was never released by Elektra.

Friedlander Gender Roles

422 Words | 2 Pages

In the reading for this week, Friedlander discusses how the rise of female musicians in the early 1960s reflected the sexism inherent in society at the time through the labelling of talented performers simply as “girl groups” (pg. 72). This term infantilized artists like The Ronettes, The Shirelles and The Crystals, and by extension, implied that rock music was still a male domain. This is supported by the fact that the production teams behind hit records such as ‘Be My Baby’ were predominantly male. According to Friedlander, if a “girl group” achieved a million-seller record in the early 1960s, they would collectively only receive around $30,000-$40,000 to split between members thanks to a 3-4% royalty rate (pg. 74). Although singles like ‘Da Doo Ron Ron’ (The Crystals) and ‘Baby, I Love You’ (The Ronettes) involved little creative contribution from the performers (both of these examples were produced and co-written by Phil
