"What Reggae"

Reggae itself is a combination of the traditional accompaniment of Africa, America and Blues and the (folk songs) from Jamaica. This synthesis of styles clearly demonstrate the authenticity of Jamaica and pounding the end - the end of its own, strumming a guitar to the vocal patterns of 'preaching' and the lyrics are about Rastafari religious traditions. Although many commercial advantages that have been obtained from Reggae, Babylon (Jamaica), the government, which severely limits the movement but is often considered not Rastafarinya political aspects. "Reg-ay" can be seen from the assumption that Reggae is a Jamaican musical style soul based Ritem United States but with a 'back' bonding and prominent bass. I often made the theme of Rastafari, political protest, and rudie (hero hooligans). Previous form (Remix & Rocksteady) looks much stronger influence of African music - despite his American guitar also fill 'holes - holes' empty accompaniment and drums complex. In contemporary reggae, drumming derived from Rastafarian rituals tend mystical and sacred, because it will be more calm and dotted Hometown heavily on social issues, political and human message.

"Was the original Jamaica too!"

Reggae music is unique to Jamaica, his ironic roots from New Orleans R & B. terdekatnya'm ancestors always comes originally from New Orleans R & B musicians who heard the radio from Jamaica Amrik through their transistor radios. Based on the succession of guitars fit - and has dropped out - they will putusadalah interpretation R & B and could be popular in the 60s. In addition, during the hot summer, I'm watching hot woulda Remix plus tarinya, the play slowed and Reggae was born. Since then, Reggae Blues becomes so flat and has the power of interpretation could also borrow from Rocksteady (first) and even the music Rock (now). African music, basically in everyday life, both in the streets, buses, public places, workplaces are not home, so the spirit of such conditions is difficult and can provide power and a special message. The result, Reggae music is not only relaxation, but also bring a message of love, peace, unity and balance and be able to release tension.

In addition, Reggae is also considered by many to affect its own charming world of dance. Culture 'dancehall' Jamaica outstanding plus megawatt sound system, exclusive recordings, drum and bass accompaniment, and playing with Rap music has become a cultural iringannya dance and incredible views. Another innovation is the Dub Reggae REMIX who assimilated other popular music to become more widely.

Then followed by a single Welcome To The Jungle is also used as soundtrack for the film Dead Pool. This album catapulted the name of Slash as a guitarist's best newcomer. Within one year, the album has sold 20 million albums worldwide.

1989, G N 'R released a second album, Lies. But album sales are not as successful as the first album. 2 years later, the album Use Your Illusion I and II, launched into the market. The album was again raised as a guitarist Slash best. In this album he was able to show the game in the harmonies and melodies that touch. Anyone not going to deny fantastic Slash solos in the song November Rain and Do not Cry. And the game also did not lose apiknya in numbers Estranged, Live and Let Die and the song You Could Be Mine is the soundtrack of the movie box office, Terminator 2. At this time the band ended with the triumph of Slash that they participate in a tour of the world. Finally, as a predicate GNR obtain the Dangerous Band In The World. Even when popularitasnyabisa assessed from the Beatles continue to like this album.

Spaghetti Incident album is released late 1993 with the album, GNR, internal conflicts that occur in the body's own band.

Finally, the longing for Velvet Revolver shed most of its personnel who are the main pillars in the last GNR. First single off successfully into a promising debut.

Besides busy with their own band, Slash also turned out to be a guitarist for other musicians like Michael Jackson. Even in 2001, when Michael Jackson celebrates 30 years of music career, Slash was the star guest by filling the guitar and a duet on the song on stage and Black Or White Beat It.

Most of the books, pictures and event historians say that in the Rap / created in the Bronx, but it is not entirely correct. Rap United States who now began around 1970 in the Boogie Down Bronx. To understand the whole, we must return to the past: It starts in Africa Gospel .

Let us return to the roots, in Africa - to be more specific, their tribes enshrine in the history of the temple, rhythmic verse and song. Because there are many tribes, many local languages and tribes whose language they are often not discarded / forgotten. So, to keep the history and legends of their use and create rhythmic songs. Because the white slave traders came and separated them from family and tribe.

Native Africans carried the story and Rima by European slave traders. They (the slave traders) do not allow slaves to speak using the "Mother Tongue" (original african language). The slave traders who think that they are planning to make a riot. Although they were chained. But they are allowed to sing. This makes the servant of life and feel better. Servant of women in violent and often pregnant by the crew (the maid slave traders). Slave women into bonus for the crew. Trip like this can take up to a month. And when there were about 1000 slaves, 600-700 survivors, is a good way. And if the pregnant slave woman, they will get a better price (because there are babies in the womb female slave). Then the master (slave owners) apply the same to get more slaves (Slave rape for pregnant women and children, the result of the acts who performed at another slave). They, employers even offer their guests one or two female friends to sleep .

When they sing they work harder because the content of the song is about where they come from and the history of their tribes. Seelanjutnya time, as more software companies, then the slave is allowed every day of the week off. On the day of the week, the slave who went to church and sing a song of independence. This is then converted into a gospel choir.

Anderson as a frontman with a distinctive flute music bands compared to the other and where KIBOR main guitar music as color. Many observers Tull is difficult to categorize types of music, whether folk rock, hard rock, or progressive rock. In addition to the flute as a unique tool for rock music, composition Tull also can not be equated with the color of the rock music, like playing the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, or with one Genesis.Gitaris so sehatinya Anderson, and even became one single largest contributor with Anderson Tull music in advance.

Fourth album AQUALUNG (1971), is, going all the way Tull and has reached platinum sales (one million chips) in the United States. AQUALUNG songs and songs must be the locomotive breath at every Tull concert. However, behind the success of the album, Tull lot of discomfort in the process of meeting their recordings. Schedule recordings to be resolved in such a tight Tull as recently completed European tour and the United States. All personnel were seized with a sense of tired physically and emotionally. Studio recording more modern causes difficulty to obtain the desired sound. undefined Tull became the first band to release an album with only one song by 43.55 minutes which lasted two sides record. The length of the song, it was not dull the effect, even the composition of which has become Anderson's genius creation. Musicians who proves that the market will not be dictated, Anderson wanted to try something new with the domination of the game distilled to a few albums in the early 1980s, including A, The Broadsword and the Beast, or hidden. KIBOR replaces smooth and strengthen the role player Eddie Jobson KIBOR Tull had been strengthened since Roxy Music and English.

Tull is also a musician works hard perpetuated by the next generation of metal, such as the Cross Eyed Mary, who by Iron Maiden and the locomotive Breath is a band from Germany, Helloween, which recently opened the concert in Jakarta, Yogyakarta and Surabaya. Perhaps only the DVD title Tull Tull Live, Living With The Past was launched in 2002 with the formation Barre (guitar), Andy Giddings (keyboards), Jonathan Noyce (bass), and Perry (drums).

Country music in Indonesia very closely with Tantowi Yahya, hosts the show "Goin Country". Music is very popular in their country - Uncle Sam - as popular as in the Indonesian Dangdut music. Many are not aware, Country style of music influenced pop music in Indonesia at the beginning of his resurrection. Also synonymous with banjo and violin, there is also a typical thing that country singer must have a straight vote. That is why, the sound using 'vibra' throat is not used in the behavior type of music.

Country music is rooted in the British Isles folk songs (there is also a better way to track the people of Ireland). Instrument appears in the main early violin (fiddle or violin. Usually for country music, there are double in the string string to four) and the banjo, an instrument which is identical with the country characteristics. Banjo traced the origin if it is a tool of the Africa continent.

Early types of music country music country 'hick' is popular. Names the hamlet itself is less desirable now because of negative experiences, musicians who prefer to call this nation as a 'cowboy music, a more romantic and heroic. Also popular in this era is the kind of bluegrass, Western swing (which influenced undefinedjazz and Blues), and of course YODEL (not the kind of music but the sound strident 'o le i ye'). The most prestigious event on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashvile, Tennese. This happened in the era of the 20s to the 40s where the radio is growing rapidly and the jukebox appears. Until now, the city known as the city of Nashville country music. The first tape was recorded "The Carter Family" which became known as the excerpt from his guitar 'Carter picking'.

Then after the second world war came kind of Country music known as 'Hongky Tonk', which very closely with the 'Steel Guitar'. In this era of Country music is a bit 'killed' by the popularity of new musical 'Rock and Roll' Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley was actually absorbing the music of the country "Western Swing", but by changing the rhythm became faster, remove the fiddle and steel playing guiter. In this era of country music also emerged a new kind of influenced by the Rock and Roll, which is known as a kind of 'Rockabilly', and mixed bed hicks polls. Rockabilly origin of emergence of the kind of music 'Hard Country' or 'Rock Country' (the latter is rarely mentioned, because it was too close to the name of Rock and Roll).

In urban era (80's), the next era, many musicians want to restore this country ke'asli'an music. They are known as 'New Traditionalist' like Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, and Dwight Yoakam. After the era of urban, Country Music is constantly changing according to the type of music, musical instruments and recording technology. Even appear as Alternative Country or 'Alt Country' which is a sub of Country Rock. 90 era-an era of music pretty much exactly is hot.

Country music in Indonesia in the early adoption seem more cowboy music. Even tend to Folk Song. A bit in accordance with ordinary pop songs. Latest, there are many adopted the last era, because the only successor Tantowi Yahya who dared to play the State. How about Sam Milby? Original music in the country. Now maybe there is no longer his country music effect.

Well, if you have a voice 'straight', you may be gifted to sing country. If enggak, could also learn to 'Line-Dance' the popular / the whole world by the song 'Achy Breaky Heart' - Billy Ray Cyrus. Dance also you can see on the show 'State Goin' his Tantowi Yahya. I like a little poco-poco, with a different style, different clothes.

Similarly, the fate of Dangdut, although popular, still many people who only U.S. also did not like the kind of music. Both are considered to music 'tacky' by who does not like. If my own, both for music in the ears, tetep okay. Nah could be one of the many types of music. Too neutral. By the way, I like the kind of music in the State at the time of travel. Suit.
NB: The mixture of both is clear many people like it, namely "Dangdut is the Music of My Country". (Hey, I was disconnected!)
