Julio Jaramillo was born October 1, 1935 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He was known as El Ruisenor de America, The Nightingale of America and Mister Juramento. He is considered the best Ecuadorian singer of all time. His love songs became very popular amongst the Ecuadorian people especially with people who could relate to his music, according to Biografia y Vidas. According to MTV.com he recorded thousands of songs which included, Boleros, Valses, Pasillos, Tangos, and even Rancheras during his 20 year career. He spent little of his career in his native Ecuador, rather leaving for Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico and later Uruguay. When he was young his neighbor

The reason for this was that he was my father’s favorite artist. I remember as a child my dad would play his guitar and we would sing along to Julio Jaramillo’s music. I recall that every year on my mother’s birthday he would have us sing to my mother with him, every year he chose a different song. Although there is one song that I have never forgotten and to this day I still don’t know why it is the clearest memory of my father singing, the song being Odiame which means hate me. I think it’s the tune that just stuck in my head or maybe the lyrics my favorite part is the where he says If you hate me I will be convinced that you, woman, loved me incessantly. But you must have in mind, according to the experience, that you can only hate, what you loved. To me those words are very powerful. To me I feel that he is saying, just like the old saying, that it is better to have loved than to never have loved at all. He feels that even though she hates him, once not very long ago she loved him. Most of his songs have to do with love and heartbreak. I still enjoy his music very much like no other artist. One of his more famous songs was Nuestro Juramento which translates to Our Vow. Many people are unaware that the song was not written by Julio Jaramillo but rather Benito de Jesus. Julio popularized the song throughout Latin America. Nuestro Juramento is the most popular song in the history …show more content…
The way that Julio expresses what love is and how love could feel is amazing. Ironically he had a very scandalous love life, fathering many children and having multiple affairs. His music will forever be remembered not only for his voice but also his way of expressing love and heartbreak. He recorded more than 4,000 songs. He was very popular in Latin America his music, in my opinion, was very influential for people he showed people how to love and what love truly is. I believe that his death was truly a loss to the Latin American music industry. It was estimated that there were about 250,000 Ecuadorians at his funeral. His popularity is compared to Frank Sinatra’s in the United States. Throughout his career Julio Jaramillo was known as the greatest pasillo performer, when he toured Latin America and Spain he served to make pasillo even more popular than it already was. In 1993 his birthday was commemorated as a national holiday for the pasillo known as Dia del Pasillo Ecuatoriano or Day of the Ecuadorian Pasillo. According to Ecuador.com, Pasillo and indigenous music style is considered by many to be the national genre of music in Ecuador. It is usually down-tempo played with a guitar and rondin which is similar to a flute with string instruments included. They are

Mexican Americans have been in this country longer than many groups of people. Although, they have been here longer, whites took thier land from them. Along with taking their land from them, they took all the pride that the Mexicans Americans had. It seemed that way until they started fighting for their rights in the early nineteen hundreds. Treaties were made that gave land rights to them and speeches were made by political leaders deeming this countries actions unjust. However, the treaties were ignored and the speeches were ploys to gain votes. Many Mexican American leaders noticed that their people were mistreated and walked all over by the anglo government.

What does the president of the U.S. mean to you? What does it mean to have the title “President”? Is there an extra sense of obligation or authority to that name? It has been known that a few presidents in particular did not live up to the expectations associated with the presidency title. One of them was named Porfirio Diaz and he is the number one cause of the Mexican revolution. When is decades long rule over Mexico was challenged he got his framed an innocent man and sent him to prison. This man eventually called for a revolution against the president.

The Mexican revolution was an extremely bloody conflict between the people of Mexico and the presidents they had to live under.

For thirty-four years Mexico existed under the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. During this time Mexico’s industries flourished however the Mexican people remained deep in poverty with little to no opportunities for educational growth. The Mexican revolution was the result of Diaz’s fall from leadership, the peons need for independence, and resulted in a new beginning for Mexico. The Mexican Revolution began due to Porfirio Diaz not allowing anyone to have a voice or say in whatever it is they must do. The people of Mexico were upset because everyone was in poverty because only a select few people actually had money because Porfirio Diaz allowed them to those select few where also the ones in power behind Porfirio. Due to all of the poverty and the poor not having a say in anything they do or have to do it caused an uprising of the peasants led by Emeliano Zapata and Pancho Villa which are greatly known for their effort against the corruption and poverty in Mexico. Although Porfirio Diaz had brought some great things to help Mexico flourish in the industrial form and economical form but for the normal working class citizens that aren’t good friends with Diaz or know him on a personal level are left broke and are left with no way to get away from their financial problems because Diaz doesn’t allow them to make enough money to prosper in anything they do. Diaz’s way of ruling Mexico was so bad that it didn’t even allow the majority of the people of Mexico to get an education because they couldn’t afford it. The only people to benefit from the new rail road systems and factories were the rich hacienda land owners. The rich hacienda owners were also the people who were basically in control over the peons they had control over them as ...

Between the 1940’s and 50’s Latin America began to have a tremendous effect on culture, popular music, and dance around the world, especially the United States. Music from Latin America first began to spread to the United States in 1925 when a Cuban named Mario Bauzá moved to New York and introduced a brand new style of music. Senior Bauzá moved to New York because he was not able to express his music the way he wanted to in Cuba due to his black skin color. When he moved to New York, he found a lot of musical freedom in Harlem. While in Harlem, he switched form Clarinet to Trumpet, which is what he is known for today.

The first thing I will talk about is the type of music he is know for which gave him that name. Most people listen to the type of music he composed but next to none know who or how it was composed. There seems to be an abundance of music fans who know little or nothing about the origin of their music. By discussing what he has accomplished it will explain why he is considered to be so important to his type of music.
Born Edgardo Franco, the now 51-year old talented reggaeton artist made his mark during the early 1990s, where he initiated a quirky Spanish dance hall that paved the way to the conception of reggaeton. Entering the world of sounds and lyrics at the early age of 12, he found his calling through the roots of their humble home. Like any other man who hoped for a better life, El General endowed his teenage years studying and crafting songs that he will soon spread through his music. He fully committed to his undying love for music at the age of 19, where he exposed himself to more avenues and channels.
