On Friday October 2rd, 2015 I attended a concert by an internationally known Latin music star: Marc Anthony. Marc Anthony specializes in making salsa music. His music has been apart of my life ever since I was born, and has played a big roll in making me who I am. Various generations in my family including my grandmother, mother, and my self have enjoyed his music. Throughout the years his music could be heard in all of my family parties. One of the reasons why he is so appreciated by my family and I is because just like us he came from a hard working family. On stage were a large group of musicians that were to be part of the instrumentation accompanying Marc as he sang. The instruments included what most Latin music is known for; trumpets, trombone, congas, timbales, claves, cowbells, piano and even guitars. Before Marc Anthony came out a very …show more content…

This band is composed of 2 primary singers known as Alexander Delgado and Randy Malcom Martinez. This bands music focuses mostly on reggae music style. One of the reasons why this band has become so popular is because of their collaboration with successful music stars such as Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, and of course Marc Anthony.

They remind me of when I used to live in Cuba. I felt very proud to have someone from my own country represent us in such a positive way.

There were many instances where there was a lot of interaction between the drums and trumpets. This created a very

Greg’s family has Czechoslovakia (father’s side), German (mom’s side), and Dutch (mom’s side) roots.

This genre became popular in Havana, Cuba. In relation to music nowadays, this is the same Latin music you will hear in your home when all the Hispanic aunts and moms get together to drink and gossip. Music has evolved a bit more adding in more technicality to the beats and "remixes". It is a shame that the culture seems to be dying, but it is still alive for some

Since the emergence of bachata in the early 1960’s, bachata was associated with poor rural migrants. Bachata was also considered too vulgar, crude, and too musically rustic. The music was not allowed in the mainstream musical landscape. Only a few years ago bachata was now finally respected by different class of the Dominican Republic.

The Garcia/Godinez duo performance was just amazing and unique. The instruments they played were very different from other instruments we most of the times get to hear in our daily basis. Even though I belong to the Mexican culture, most of the instruments were new, and for some others I finally caught the names. I really appreciate the indigenous music; I feel the connection with my heritage as well as how interesting it is to see how my ancestors created such wonderful music made by such unique and creative music instruments. One of the new instruments I got to know during this music presentation was the Teponaztli, the musical bow.

The Jazz scene was not only instrumental but vocal, throughout the 20th-century artists around the world began to record their music with lyrics and a message to sing. It is interesting to note how artists change over time, by techniques they have used to pioneer a new sound of jazz. Although similar in genre, artists Lizz Wright and Bobby McFerrin have multiple differences and similarities to compare such as their decade of creating music, style, vocal and instrumentational techniques, and tempo. Lizz Wright had a humble beginning, she sang and played piano in the church of her hometown in the 1990’s, while Bobby McFerrin recorded his first album in the 1980’s at age 32. Wright’s style of music is geared towards vocal jazz, gospel, and blues, in comparison to McFerrin’s acapella performances and imitation of instruments.

Omar Gonzalez One of the most beautiful sounds a human being will ever hear is that of a finely tuned concert band. The lovely sounds that come out of instruments played by fifty or so musicians who are precisely in tune and have practiced their part can be appreciated by even the mechanical engineer or the trash collector who somehow manages to split your trash can in half or leave it rolling half a mile down the street. Although it seems obvious that to reach that level of artistry one must practice at least weekly, somehow there are people that believe the human ear can withstand the screeching of a dying cat through a megaphone larger than a commercial cruise ship . Yes, these are the ones that do not practice. These are the members
