Introduction to blues
[Edit this paragraph]
Blues music began in the twenties The southern United States at the turn of the century. It was originally a short song shouted by poor black people while working, and it was also mixed with the rhythm and rhyme similar to the recital form in the church.
This kind of music has an obvious special style, which is to use the "call and response" form similar to Chinese folk songs, which is called "Call and Response" in English. At first, the musical phrase will give people a feeling of tension, crying, and helplessness, and then the subsequent musical phrase will seem to comfort and relieve the suffering people. It’s like a suffering person crying to God, and then receiving God’s comfort and response!
So blues music places great emphasis on the catharsis of self-emotions and originality or improvisation. This improvisational playing method later slowly evolved into various types of music, such as Rock and Roll, Swing, Jazz...so blues is also the root of modern pop music.
The harmonica has been widely used in blues music since about the mid-twenties. At that time, many street performers performed music in the United States. Their commonly used instruments were banjo, drums, and one. A type of wind instrument called "pan quill pipes". Since guitars and harmonicas have better performance than these traditional instruments and are more suitable for performing in rough places, harmonicas are gradually used to play blues music.
In the 1930s, many black people moved to the big city of Chicago. Blues music and blues harmonica also spread in Chicago, and later formed a genre of their own called Chicago Blues.

Jazz
Probably the most influential of the so-called "popular music" in the 20th century was jazz.
There are various theories about its origin, some of which are almost legendary.
There have been countless specialized studies on its musical form.
However, it is still difficult for us to simply answer the most basic question, "What is jazz?" Someone once asked the famous jazz master Louis Armstrong, "What exactly is jazz?" He replied: "If you use words to answer , you will never understand it in your life." There are many theories about the origin of the word "jazz", and a more credible one is that it comes from the French word jaser. As mentioned earlier, the residents of these southern states in the United States spoke French at the time. The original meaning of jaser was to chat and talk nonsense; music was the main form of entertainment for black slaves. They got together and made of clay They played the instruments randomly, sang miscellaneous songs, and beat the rhythm with whatever was at hand. There was no notation or harmony that everyone had to follow, and there were no technical restrictions. It was like a group of people gathering together. Like chatting, that's exactly what the word jaser means. There are many other theories. For example, some people say that it comes from the name of a drummer. Because he can push the music to a climax with exciting drum beats, the audience shouts his name loudly every time they want more exciting effects. Over time, it became the name of this music; some people believe that based on the analysis of the cultural background of the place where jazz was performed (brothels) and the participants (black slaves) at that time, the word was derived from the local black dialect related to sexual behavior. vocabulary. The first known official appearance of this word was in 1914, when a band in Chicago was named the "Old Dixieland Jazz Band". In 1917, the record recorded by Victory Company for the band used the name "jazz".

In fact, these related associations are just some Appearance, are you interested in understanding the real rock culture and the "core" hidden under these "appearances"? In its purest form, rock and roll is three chords plus a hard, sustained drum beat and a vocal melody. Rock and roll is not only a form of music, but in fact it is an "attitude and philosophy of life". It is precisely because of this that rock and roll is different from ordinary pop music (Pop Music). The real rock culture can at least distill such a microcosm: hippie culture, art rock, punk music, avant-garde music, heavy metal, etc. Since the 1950s, people have been familiar with a new kind of pop music on the radio and records. This music has a very strong rhythm in every beat and the lyrics are also very fresh. It has conquered the hearts of many Americans at once. In 1951, when Cleveland Radio in the United States first played this type of music, in order to make the audience feel novel, an announcer named Alan Fried named this sound "rock and roll" when introducing it before the broadcast. It is said that the name was taken from an obscene black song called "My Baby Rocks Me in a Fixed Roll."
In 1955, a singer named Bill Harley sang and recorded a record called "Non-Stop Rock and Roll", which caused a great sensation and sold more than 15 million copies, becoming the best-selling record in the world. One of the records from which the name of rock music comes.

Open categories: music, culture, art, hip-hop, DJ
Hip-Hop is a cultural term, including rap, graffiti, hip-hop, and street music. Balls, B-BOX and DJ, etc.;
Rap originated in the 1960s, while Hip-Hop as a musical understanding originated in the early 1970s. Its predecessor was RAP (sometimes with a little R added (B).
Hip-Hop literally means hip, and hop means jumping on one foot. Together they are a slight hip swing. It originally refers to the embryonic stage of hip-hop (that is, what we used to do). break dance), and later gradually developed into a huge concept - the Hip-Hop culture we are talking about now also includes those baggy clothes, heavy pure gold jewelry, and people who usually talk like "YoYo? what's up" ?" oral habits - in short, it is the lifestyle of black people in slums in the United States and their "style".
The origin of Hip-Hop can be summarized by the word "poor". Why Should I wear clothes that are one size larger? In addition to being convenient for exercise, most black families have a large number of people and little income, so the older brother will wear smaller clothes for his younger brother. This is how the style of giant clothes is formed; why? Graffiti? This thing was originally a symbol of the division of influence between various gangs in the neighborhood. Later, it became more and more beautiful and developed into folk art; why was there street dancing? Because they had no money to go to dance clubs, and racial discrimination was still a problem at that time. Even if you have money, you may not be able to have fun in white people's dance halls; why are pure Hip-Hop works mainly black and must contain foul language? Because these black youths on the street have no future and no hope, and they hate them more than they do. Love much more rock
