Every once in awhile there comes along a rhythm that is highly loved by both young and old, high income and low income and locals and immigrant. Right now that rhythm is Bachata. Here in Curaçao Bachata has evolved from “muzik di snèk” to become the rhythm everyone dances or are taking classes to learn how to dance it. Everywhere you turn, whether it is a Dutch bar, Chinese bar or a dancing place the one rhythm that you definitely hear is Bachata. Not only that, if you take a look at the dance floor the couples dancing is as diverse as our society.

It was then that Gabriela Quintero’s flamenco-born percussive technique caught the flair of Rodrigo Sanchez’s stylized chops and strums, and the duo descended into an hour long inferno that featured hits off their three most recent albums, 11:11, Area 52, and 9 Dead Alive.
Bachata is a creolized music, meaning that there is both European and African influence. It is also a descendent of a few different Dominican Republic and Cuban forms of music – primarily son, but also merengue and ranchera. Son is music of the African diaspora, commonly involved in debates of African retention. Elements of African music, such as call-and-response and preference for polyrhythm survived the middle passage and are deeply rooted in Caribbean tradition. Stringed instruments are believed to have been part of the European influence on the area, as well as harmonic patterns, as well as verse-chorus structure and prominent duple meter. Modern groups consist of two electric acoustic guitars, an electric bass guitar, a guira (A Dominican Republic percussion instrument), and bongos (Hutchinson). Bachata is thought to have originated in the rural areas, being the music of choice at rural friendly gatherings, similar to son’s roots. Bachata then migrated to the cities with the impoverished as they looked for work. With this move the music transformed into something entirely different from its romantic, seren...

Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the most famous German composers of his time. All of his work was mostly during the baroque era. The baroque period was from 1600 to 1750 and it is known to be one of the most diverse musical periods as opposed to the other classical music eras. It was in this era that “included composer like Bach, Vivaldi and Handel, who pioneered new styles like the concerto and the sonata.”(Classic FM) Johann Sebastian was born in the midst of the Baroque era as he was born on March 31, 1685 in Thuringia, Germany. Johann came from a family of musicians, which is how he himself became one as well. It was his father who showed him how to play his first instrument, which was the violin. His father was also a well-known musician in his town as he “worked as the town musician in Eisenach.”(Johann Sebastian Bach) It is known that Johann Sebastian went to a school that taught him
Music and dance are important parts of Peruvian culture. “Andean Folk Music is common in Peru. People perform a stylized dance to energetic music mixed with sad songs. Popular instruments include clay panpipes, flutes, conch shell trumpets, and puma-skin drums”(Falconer, Kieran, and Quek 102). The music follows themes of religion, war, and profanity. Peruvians are always found dancing, whether at a festival, carnival, or just for fun. Music shows important parts of Peruvian culture.

Segovia asked Ponce to write works for the guitar. In response Ponce produced the four movements Sonata Mexicana and the setting of a Mexican folksong, La Valentina. Ponce?s and Segovia?s relationship became more than mutual professional connection, it developed into close personal friendship which allowed Segovia to impose his creative preferences on Ponce?s compositions (Segal 221). In one of his letter, Segovia gave specific instructions on what type of music he needed for each performing occasion. For instance, in Concierto del Sur Segovia suggested using rasgueado chords to accompany the development of second theme ,and these were indeed added by Ponce to the piece. Ponce accepted Segovia?s participation in the creative process but he still was able to make his own decisions (Segal 225). Under a close working relationship, Ponce viewed the guitar

Growing up, there was never a day that I did not wake up to the sound of loud salsa music blaring. Or to the loud voices of my mother or grandmother talking. To anyone else this “talking” would surely be mistaken for an argument or fight. Cuba is where salsa music and the conga drum originated, so we tend to be very proud of this. One of the greatest salsa singer/writers was the late Celia Cruz.
On Wednesday, November 9th, I attended Lizt Alfonso’s production of Dance Cuba in the Music Hall Center in Detroit. It was choreographed by Lizt Alfonso, Diana Fernandez, and Yadira Hernandez. Dance Cuba travels with 18 dancers and an amazing musical group that is on stage, not in an orchestra pit. As stated by Tom Paul, artistic director, the last time Lizt Alfonso’s Dance Cuba performed in Detroit was in 2003. Having been thirteen years since the last performance, everyone was excited to see what was in store.
Music is “The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre” ( Farlex, Inc 2013). Caribbean music has its own unique history, is very diverse with each island having its own unique genre of music. With so many different types of music out there and different performing artists these artists are looking for ways to make money by becoming popular.
