Why do we prefer some music?



L a myriad of rhythms and genres leads to, and create different tastes: a different people like different music, and not just one gender, one is not 'home' with a rhythm but rather over time and depending on when you might like different styles. To try to understand why this happens, Omar Rincón proposes four possible explanations:

1. Cultural structures produce musical tastes: depending on where one is born and your class, you automatically enjoy live music in the environment surrounding it, and is locked into a single genre for life.
2. For the type of challenge that makes the music: on the lyrics, rhythm, interpretation by the singer (for his charisma, because it awakens a feeling ), or the questioning of those who like that music (the latter so joins social group).
3. On the performative rite: the music is what works and lives only in the experience, as a way of living ideas-rather than express them. In this case, the music becomes an aesthetic device which we self-discovery and, at the same time, when we share with others becomes an example of collective identity.
4. The music produces identity in their narrative plots: the narrative becomes the bridge that brings the music to the identity. The music can be a life character who lives several stories through different genres and songs.

analyzing these four options, you can reach several small conclusions: The music has given us the opportunity to enjoy has enabled people to enjoy their identities (individual and collective), we do not choose our tastes music, music choose us and we might like for no apparent reason, and, finally, is a way of life the ideas, quoting Omar Rincon "Not that the music has nothing to say except that lets everyone say what they want."

Which Type Of Base To Get From Everyday Minerals?

"Music Training? The fury of tropipop

Today, payola (cash or gifts from record companies to broadcasters in exchange for more airtime for its artists) is bread every day on commercial radio. And found Juan Carlos Garay, music columnist for the magazine Semana, in a small study, this has led to a hegemony of four labels: Sony , Warner , Universal and EMI , with 99 % of songs to air are of artists who belong to these firms. This has serious implications for the listeners because the options are limited, exposure to a variety of genres and artists is limited, therefore reducing the culture to which we are exposed, no longer have the option to hear a little of everything for the end to form our own tastes ... tastes imposed us the music industry.

A lack of artists, because the list has been reduced to four record labels, we are exposed to them all day, so the prevailing phenomenon is repetition. In a broadcast 24 hours of music, really hear what we achieve are the same 40 songs repeated over and over again (hence the surprising success of THE 40 TOP S ). This phenomenon has psychological effects similar to experiments conducted by animal behaviorist school: being subjected to constant repetition, it generates a reaction in the listener, custom, which, psychologically, we end up mistaking the taste ... We are in a kind of training process, no matter how ugly it sounds, which lead us to prefer some songs and artists defaults. The record companies make use of this strategy because the appreciation of music relies heavily on memory as it is an ethereal art fades in time and dies with silence, they need to remember the artists they represent for us to get used and "like us" so we meet compelled to buy their records and attend their concerts.

Purple Bathroom Schemes





From here a while back on the radio what more we hear are songs of a new genre known as tropipop that fuses folk music Colombian pop aspects such as rock and electronics.

Who started this trend so popular today, was nothing more and nothing less than Carlos Vives, samarium a singer who proudly strives to create a style (based on the rhythms of the Atlantic Coast as cumbia and vallenato) probably never imagined their spread at incredible speeds. On the international scene, artists that could be called 'pioneers' of the genus are Bacilos and Gianmarco .

Currently, it seems that every day creates a new group that operates within this genre; of the most prominent are Nonprofit , Jerau , Lucas Arnau and Bonka , especially the latter, 5 young graduates the school who are hit the moment with songs like "monkey", "The big problem" and "Swap Maluca." Additionally, Fonseca has achieved international fame moved using rhythms with rock overtones and many of Colombian music, making her debut album Heart has received several nominations and awards in international competitions, such as MTV Latino and Latin Grammy 2006.

The tropipop has been so popular among young audiences, which has virtually gone from being a style of music to be a successful marketing formula perhaps a fad ... But what is certain is that today These days you're going to partying at a nightclub and 80% of the songs are placed in this genus, as they are conducive to dance all night, either matched or 'bothering' with a group of friends. Personally, I think the genre has at least the near future promising because, although the rates among different groups do not vary much, the lyrics reflected situations common in youth, and because, additionally, has managed strategically 'emergence' of these artists are young, mostly attractive, singing for contemporary public romantic lyrics and indignation. However passenger gender becomes, what greater identification might ask? This really is the definition of pop music.
