The sounds of the world.

There is a world of music out there!
What we hear on the radio or see on
TV is only a small part of all the
wonderful music that is waiting for us.
Most of us probably like pop music
and have our favourite performers,stars
or bands,but many of us also want to
discover new sounds and rhythms.
Here is a brief look at some of the
exciting musical styles from around the
world.
Blues music has a long history.The blues is a way for
people to show who they are and what is in their heart.
People have been playing the blues for many years,but
the music has kept many of its characteristics. The
blues comes from African songs that people used to
sing when they worked and during festivals. The
African songs met American music when African
slaves were brought to the US. The blues has been part
of African-American culture since then, and it is still
an important part of American culture. Other musical
styles,like jazz and rock music, have all come from
blues music.
Inside Blues Music Now!
Chess bluesman John Brim dies at age 81
We have received word of the
passing of blues guitarist and singer John Brim on Oct. 1,
2003.
Today’s American culture contains many different
musical styles. People still listen to
blues and rock, but they also listen to hip-hop and rap.
Hip-hop and rap have much in common with blues and
rock,but they also have their own characteristics.
Hip-hip music often combines parts of other styles to
create music that will help people hear new things in
old music. Perhaps the most important characteristic
of rap music is the way the artists sing. In rap music,
the singer or “rapper” will speak or “rap” the words
along with the beat.

Hip Hop / Rap 说唱
1、Alternative 另类说唱：另类说唱，由Hip-Hop的风格中衍生出来，但其内容意味反叛，不

上。代表：De La Soul

主的舞曲形式，分化出大量支派，是美国的主流音乐形式

向往。它承继着大部分传统唱乐的风格。代表人物：Ice Cube

Another important style in today’s world of music
