Swing became the most popular music in America in late 1930 to akhir1940's. The popularity of swing decreased because of World War II that made it difficult to gather musicians to form a big band, big band tour cost was very expensive and the musicians union strike at tahun1942-1948 so there are no official records produced. Swing then transformed into a new stream of jump blues and bebop.
Meanwhile in European jazz style developed in France with the advent of Quintette Du Hot Club De France in 1934. Guitar legend Django Reinhardt popularized Belgium called Gypsies jazz (swing mix of American and French dance music of Eastern European folk music added.)

Around the 1940's young jazz musicians create new music of different styles of swing music style, they changed the dance music beyond jazz into music that is more artistic flavor and a bit complicated. This style is called bibop and is the music to be heard not to dance.
In the same year jazz musicians began to include elements of ragtime into a variety of their work. Ragtime is the flow of Native American music that ever popular between the years 1897-1918.

Blues music history

Blues is known as a vocal and instrumental music stream originating from the United States (U.S.). The music began to grow rapidly in the 19th century AD comes from spiritual music and chanted the usual compliment of black African communities in the U.S.. Music that applying the blue notes and the pattern of call and response that the U.S. public believed popularized by 'Mr Blues'-WC Handy (1873-1958).

Would you believe that Blues music is rooted in Muslim tradition Initially, the public in the country, Uncle Sam did not believe it. However, a writer and scientist and researcher at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York, Sylviane Diouf, managed to convince the public that the Blues have a relationship with the tradition of Muslim societies in West Africa

.
To prove the links between American blues music with Muslim tradition, Diouf play two recordings. The first diperdengarkannya to the public who were present in a room at Harvard University is the rebound prayer-call for Muslims to prayer pilgrimage. After that, Diouf plays Levee Camp Holler.
The second recording is the old blues song that first appeared in the Mississippi Delta about 100 years ago. Levee Camp Holler is not a blues song is fairly common. The song was created by the black community of West African Muslim origin who worked in the post-Civil War America.
Levee Camp Holler lyrics of the song that was played Diouf it sounded like a voice call to prayer-include the glory of God. Like the call to prayer rebound, the song emphasizes the words that sound vibrates. According to Diouf, nasal style that between Levee Cam Holler Blues songs similar call to prayer also was evidence of linkage between the two.
Public who were present in the room was also amazed with the truth revealed evidence Diouf. "The applause was thunderous, because the relationship between American blues music with Muslim tradition is clearly evident," said Diouf. "They said, 'Wow, really sound the same. Blues was really rooted in there (Islamic tradition) '. "
Jonathan Curiel in his writings titled, Muslim Roots, U.S. Blues, revealed that the American public need to thank the Muslims from West Africa who live in America. Around the year 1600 until mid 1800 AD, many black residents of West Africans forcibly brought to America and made slaves.
According to historians, about 30 percent of West African slaves who were forcibly employed in the United States that are Muslim. "Although the master was forced to embrace Christianity, but many slaves from Africa were still running the Islamic religion and culture came from," said Curiel.
They still sing the verses of the Koran every day. However, history also notes that Muslim sailors from West Africa were the first to discover the Americas before Columbus. "Needless to say, the Muslims have been historically influential in the evolution of American society a few centuries before Christopher Columbus found it," said Fareed H. Numan in the American Muslim History A Chronological Observation.
Curiel added, other influences are given a religious community of black Muslims in America to Blues music is the musical instruments they can play. In the era of slavery in America, whites ban them for drumming, for fear that would foster the spirit of resistance of the slaves.
However, the use of stringed instrument usually played by Muslims from Africa are still allowed to play because it is considered similar to a violin. Professor of Ethnomusikologi from Mainz University, Germany, named Professor Gehard Cubic said the American banjo music instruments also come from Africa.
In particular, Prof. Cubic write a book about his relationship with Blues music of Islamic civilization in West Africa entitled, Africa and the Blues, published by University Press of Mississippi in 1999. "I'm sure many Blues singers today who do not realize that their sound patterns imitate musical traditions of the Muslims in Arabic" he said.
In academic Prof Cubic has proven it. "Blues singer vocal style mostly using melisma, wavy intonation. Vocal style as it is the heritage of the communities in West Africa who have been in contact with the Islamic world since the 7th century and 8 M, "he explained. Melisma use a lot of tone in one syllable.
Meanwhile, wavy intonation is a series of switches from major to minor scale and back again. It is very commonly used when the Muslim call to prayer and reading the Koran chanted. With that fact, said Prof. Cubic, researchers should acknowledge that Blues music is rooted in Islamic traditions that flourished in West Africa.
Although it has been proven academically, but still there are many who do not acknowledge the influence of African traditions of Muslim communities in Blues music. "Non-Muslims are very difficult to believe that fact, because they do not have enough knowledge about the Islamic civilization and Islamic music," says Barry Danielian, a trumpeter who performed with Paul Simon, Natalie Cole and Tower of Power.
Voice call to prayer and reflection Quranic verses commonly sung by black Muslims in America contains musicality. "In my congregation, says Danielian who lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, 'When we got together and the priest came there were hundreds of people and we chanted prayers, certainly sounds very musical. You will hear a musical is like an American called the Blues. '"That's the Islamic tradition in the U.S. has spawned a stream of music called Blues

Dangdut history

Dangdut is a kind of popular music INDONESIA. Almost all the people familiar with dangdut. Dangdut with a full rhythm musicnya drum and fife. For some people dangdut music is considered tacky. Heheheheh, I also do not know why???? Please read my article about dangdut ... ... ..
 
Mengistilahkan as grass-roots music in this genre reveals how dangdut inseparable part of Indonesian society. Dangdut closer to the socio cultural life of the underprivileged people is a principle that is absolutely on hold by the majority of our society. When Americans come to the Pub, then asked, â € œwhats music of ur country? Â €??, You can not possibly answer, Hip hop, Pop, or Reggae,
unless there is pride in the liver, or brain, you tilted half sane. And he said, â € œdangdut is the music of my countryâ €??, Clear and effective. Want to or not, well it is. This is if you ber_WNI.
For some, Dangdut still want to be placed on the marginalized position in the country music scene heterogeneity. Somehow, from the outset of this positioning has been trying to grown strong. Missal, dangdut was identical to step on the screen, first films screened at the event sedekahan Rhoma village, or 17an. Dangdut is the music required in the terminals, small stalls five feet up to the dimly lit. Dangdut is suitable for advertising liniment, colds, or service ads masyarakat_KBS_kalangan bottom rung. The majority of capital singers sang dangdut in Bus2, railways, public transportation, Lamongan, or overhang. Even if you like to Dangdut, other friends will smile simpul_sembari laugh. â € œKatro ni people, â €? to borrow a phrase Tukul Arwana.
Dangdut is part of a community theme KBS. This assumption most people, he did not fit are placed or aligned with the type of hip hop, et al who later present in the country music scene. In fact, besides dangdut, you can hear Peterpan, Radja, Dewa, Mariah Carey and even Bob Marley in public toilets, street vendors tradsional market, or massage parlors. Questioned why the grassroots music stereotyping inherent in dangdut obviously charming and inviting a variety of responsibilities. When dangdut only be considered as a genre of music, it's not a problem. Dangdut closer to the lowest strata of the masses is also true. But when discredit dangdut is the music pulses and put him on mock the music position, this problem can also invite trouble. Moreover, the principle holds dangdut is the song for the poor. This is outside the ordinary biasa_luar inconsequential.
Early History
Speaking historically, Dangdut is one of a growing genre of musical art in the country. This musical form rooted in the Malay music in the 1940s. In the evolution to contemporary forms are now entering the influence of Indian music elements (mainly from the use of tabla) and Arabic (on crooked and harmonization). Changes in the flow of Indonesian politics in the late 1960s opened the entry of the strong influence of western music with the inclusion of the use of electric guitar and also a form of marketing. Since the 1970s virtually dangdut has matured in its contemporary. As popular music, dangdut very open to influence of other musical forms, ranging from keroncong, style, gamelan, harp, rock, pop, and even house music.
Mention the name "dangdut" is a sound game onomatope of tabla (drum in the world called dangdut only) a distinctive and is dominated by noise and ndut dang. This name is actually a cynical title in a magazine article the early 1970s to form malay music is very popular among the grassroots.
Contemporary dangdut has been different from its roots, Malay music, though people can still feel his touch. Malay Orchestra (commonly abbreviated as OM, the term is still often used for a dangdut music group) the original use of musical instruments like acoustic guitar, accordion, tambourine, harp, and flute, even a gong. In the 1950s and 1960s, many developing orchestra in Jakarta Malay-orchestra that plays songs from Sumatra Deli Malay (around Medan). At this time the experiment began to enter the entry of Indian elements in Malay music. The development of world cinema at that time and anti-Western politics of President Sukarno becomes fertilizer for these groups. From this time to note the names such as P. Ramlee (of Malaya), Said Effendi (with songs Seroja), Ellya (with the stage like a dancer Indian style), Husein Bawafie Dolls creator of India, Munif Bahaswan, and M. Mashabi (composer score the film "Lamentations Stepchildren" is very popular in the 1970's.)
Musical style of this period still survive until the 1970s, although at that time major changes in the Malay music scene that was driven by a sonnet Group leader Rhoma Irama. Some of the names of the 1970s that can be called is Mansyur S., Ida Laila, A. Rafiq, and Muchsin Alatas. Malay popular music can be seen from the release of several Malay pop album by pop group Shania Twain in his prime.
Modern dangdut, which developed in the early 1970s in line with Indonesian political culture that is friendly to the West, include musical instruments such as the Western modern electric guitar, electric organ, percussion, trumpet, saxophone, oboe, etc. to increase the variation and as land-musicians musician creativity. Mandolin also entered as an important element. Effect of rock (especially the guitar) is very thick felt in the music dangdut. The 1970s were the scene of 'battle' for dangdut music and rock music in the music market seize Indonesia, to have held concerts 'duel' between the sonnet Group and God Bless. Practically since the time of this Malay music has changed, including the pattern of musical business.
In the latter half of the 1970s also developed variations of "dangdut humor" that was driven by OM petromaks Ray Emission (PSP). This orchestra, which departs from the style of music melayu deli, helping dangdut dissemination among the students. This subgenre forwarded, for example, by OM Introduction Drinking Poison (PMR) and, in the early 2000s, by Hope Youth Orchestra Nations (PHB).
Building songs
Although the songs dangdut can receive many other musical elements easily, building mostly very conservative dangdut songs, mostly composed of eight units of measure 4 / 4. Rarely found dangdut songs with time signatures 3 / 4, except in the Malay songs Deli (example: Bird Nuri). Lagu dangdut too poor improvisation, both melody and harmony. As a dance music, dangdut rely heavily on tabla beats and syncope.
Intro can be a vowel or a game without the accompaniment of flute, the rest is play guitar or mandolin. The length can reach eight-bar intro. The initial part consists of eight bars, with or without repetition. If there is repetition, can be interrupted by a line break game. This section is usually lyrical introduction to the content of the song, the situation faced by the singer.
Dangdut song has no chorus standards, but has a second part with building a different melody with the first part. Before entering the second part there are usually two times the eight-bar breaks without lyrics. The second part is usually along the eight-bar twice with one line was interrupted by a pause with no lyrics. At the end of the second part is sometimes found along the four-bar coda. Lyrics to the second part usually contains the consequences of the situation described the first part or the actions taken by the singer to address the situation.
After the second part, the song is repeated full from beginning to end. Dangdut song ends on the first repetition. Rarely dangdut song ends with a fade away.
Interactions with other music
Dangdut is very elastic in the face and affect other forms of music. Western songs popular in the 1960s and the 1970s many of didangdutkan. Kasidah stringed musical genre and slowly drift off into the flow way dangdut music. The same thing happens in music Tarling from Cirebon, so that still exist at the moment is the form of mixtures: tarlingdut.
Rock, pop, disco, house fused with both the music dangdut. Similarly, this also happens with local music like jaipongan, gamelan, Tarling, keroncong, Java style (known as a musical form called mixed juice congdut, with characters Didi Kempot), or zapin.
Easily dangdut receiving element 'foreign' making it vulnerable to other forms of piracy, as is the case against the songs of Bollywood-style films and latin songs. Dangdut coffee, for example, is "pirated" a popular song from Venezuela.Positioning Dangdut
Just like you to shop Padang, If you buy rendang, friends kikil buy one again, can not you then conclude he was eating insipid menu. Nah really logical. Just as with music, if you like dangdut we can not think this music really low. Its only about how to behave in difference!. This is a simple difference. Then because of different lah, no attitude in a fair and proportional to it.
Admittedly, dangdut inseparable from erotic dancing and swaying, like a big polemic culture in Indonesia in 2003 due to his protest against the style Rhoma Irama stage dangdut singer from East Java, Inul Daratista, with its rocking ngebor labeled decadent and "damage morals ". Long before, dangdut has also been invited debate and ended with the banning of the stage in celebration Sekaten dangdut in Yogyakarta. The debate appears again and again due to the style of a stage singer (female) was considered too "open" and low taste, so it does not fit with the mission Sekaten as a religious celebration. Recently, the Indonesian Ulema Council in various areas prohibit some dangdut singers to fill in the event the election.
Dangdut is widely agreed upon as the music that carries the aspirations of lower class society with all its simplicity and kelugasannya. Distinctive feature is reflected in the lyrics and song structure. Stage a sensational style is inseparable from this breath. This phenomenon is becoming one of the low valuation dangdut music.
Speaking of art attractions, the hip hop music, also with easy to find a singer that vulgar, attractions ngedance inviting taste. On the other music we can still see and witness the appearance of a sexy artist abis. Even in some pop or rock music concerts, the audience there is a brawl, to commit murder. Remember concert, music underground in Bandung some time ago that took the lives of young people.
There must be an equation of thought in the assessment of artistic creativity. Equalizing dangdut as music katro and unworthy is the distortion of a work of art. What an injustice deliberately left to grow and develop.Issues Capitalism
Have you ever thought, the concept of image branding on the music dangdut like it is part of a covert campaign outside music producer? Indonesian local music grind for work outside of music, hip hop, rock, reggae, punk, et al were sold in the Indonesian market. Refraction image and planted deliberately in the setting of memory from the outset in Indonesia that the people who named it Katro Dangdut, Ngampung, outdated, not level and so forth. Finally, those artistic looking for alternative entertainment, well end up like that music ..
Not considered lain music bored or indifferent, but this is part of a campaign of love domestic products, boasts its own homeland artwork, proud as an Indonesian. Again, like with music outside no problem, but then discredit dangdut on where it acts not as a nation humiliated and landless water. Adil is in looking at music dangdut.Akhirnyaâ € |
 
Be honest to yourself, even if you do not like to Dangdut, in your tiny heart blood flow actually dangdut. When on a particular event, the singer rocked dangdut, you may also enjoy the rocking strains of the song until he feels cool dancing with friends instantly. Do not be surprised, because it's a natural reaction to normal. That is not dancing, or looking away, at dasarnnya his heart trick. Like it or not, this is fact. In any event entertainment, dangdut certainly participate enliven the situation. Dangdut stage can easily be found in various places. Places of entertainment and special disco play dangdut songs found in many large cities. The radio station broadcast that states itself as "radio dangdut" is also easily found in various kota_heeee_red.
I once had a friend. During his lecture, he did not like and claim to understand the true Roker band players. But after a few years later, when the marriage ceremony. They invite a single organ, the singing dangdut singer, he even sang a song serene cool chips Rhoma Irama for dear wife, also did not seem to sway a number of songs went by, they are soluble in bang dangdut tunes. Fun Not ?.

Hard Rock

Genre of rock music that is rooted in the music mid 60a of garage and psychedelic rock and many keterpengaruhan of blues music. Hard rock dominated by electric guitar, bass guitar and drums. The role of the guitarist is usually divided into two: lead guitar and rythm guitar, lead guitar solo guuitar will feature in some parts of the song while the guitar rythm role more as a complement to lead guitar.

Many more flow in the rock that has not been discussed but will be too long and boring, the point is to know the history and philosophy of music makes us do not directly and immediately proclaimed a song to get into rock music like the song Isabella works search, a Malay song clad guitar distortion. Also do not let the Ledek "face taut (frightening), music lax (-moaned moan)
