Dingpan Lane Dingpan Lane is a place name, located at 28th Street (between Fifth Avenue and Broadway Street) in new york. Since the end of 19, there have been many music publishing companies, all of which have song salesmen playing the piano all day to attract customers. Due to the excessive use of Qin, the timbre is worn out, just like knocking on a tin board, so some people jokingly call this place "Dingbang Lane" (or translated as "Pan Ting Hutong"). Ding Bangxiang is not only the publishing center of pop music, but also a symbol of an era and a representative of a style in the history of pop music. It lasted nearly half a century.

Ding Bangxiang's songs are generally written by white professional composers. Different writers have different styles in different periods, but there are similarities. From the content, it is mainly about love, full of romantic feelings, or slightly nostalgic and sad, or cheerful and funny. No matter what happens at home and abroad, it is rarely reflected in Ding Bangxiang's songs. Mainly show the sunny side of life, as if Americans are enjoying life carefree; From the form of expression, the melody of singing, the uncomplicated rhythm and the harmony of natural sound system (sometimes changing chords and tone sandhi between phrases) mostly appear in the form of "verse-chorus" (such as 18). Ding Bangxiang's songs are generally sung by professional singers according to the score, paying attention to vocal skills, accompanied by bands or choirs, and often accompanied by string groups as the background timbre. For example, the famous pop singer Ping at that time? Bing crosby (1904 ~ 1977), Frank? Frank Sinatra (19 15 ~ 1997) and others mainly sang Ding Bangxiang's songs. Ding Bangzi's songs mainly spread to white people in cities, and rarely spread to black people or the lower classes. The appearance of rock music in 1950s challenged the position of traditional Ding Bangxiang songs in the whole pop music. Jazz Jazz has won the love of the audience with its dynamic syncopated rhythm, distinctive jazz syllables and unconventional improvisation (or singing), and has been recognized by people from all walks of life in the music field. It originated from blues and ragtime music. After a whole century of development, it is now colorful and full of flowers.

Jazz is gradually formed by improvisation in the form of a small band, based on blues and ragtime, with some white music elements added.

Bruce was formed in the 1990s of 19. At the beginning, we talked about the inseparable relationship between jazz and blues, because some jazz is based on blues music, while others are directly transformed from blues music, and they use the song structure of traditional blues music, that is, the so-called twelve-bar blues.

"Bruce" has multiple meanings. In addition to the type of music, it is also an adjective of the scene. Usually when people see this word, they will immediately think of melancholy and sadness, which are the basic characteristics of blues music.

Blues music originated in the late19th century (1890), and its music content is a mixture of African battlefield cries and Christian hymns. The reason can be said to express the singer's personal feelings, and even can be said to be a portrayal of the early life of black people. In the movie The Color Purple, we saw two black people working hard and singing to the rhythm. This is the original work song (work Son, which can also be said to be the predecessor of blues music. This kind of music sounds very melancholy, and this way of expressing one's inner thoughts directly with songs is completely different from the music of white society at that time and has become the center of jazz and rock music.

Generally speaking, New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, appeared in190' s. However, the first jazz record in history was released in 19 17 and recorded by "original Dixieland jazz Bal 1d" in New Orleans. Therefore, we will never know the characteristics of jazz music before 19 17, but according to the music records and photography at that time, the speed of early jazz music was between medium speed and fast speed, and people who first came into contact with jazz music felt full of energy and excitement.

Another feature of early New Orleans jazz, perhaps the most important feature, was collective improvisation. Mutual humility and cooperation are only limited by the chord progression structure. The most attractive thing about this kind of performance is that the band members have both competition and cooperation, and they pay attention to and turn a blind eye to the restrictions imposed on them. This new sound can be heard by any audience at the beginning of the 20th century, which is called "jazz". Country music appeared in the 1920s. It originated from the folk music of South China agriculture in the United States, and was first developed under the influence of traditional British folk songs. The earliest country music is the traditional Hilby music, with simple tunes, stable rhythm and strong narrative. Different from the sad pop songs in the city, it has a strong local flavor.

Folk songs began to blend into the mainstream of American pop music, and the earliest country singers appeared, such as James Rogers (1897 ~ 1933), Bruce, Yodels and folk songs. They were regarded as pioneers of country music and were named "country music".

The Disabled Children's Family (composed of AJvin Carter, 189 1-l960, his wife and brother-in-law) won the audience's love with its comfortable and harmonious style, focusing on themes such as home, God and faith. For artists like the Carters, singing is just an amateur way to make a living. But in the primary stage of country music, they did make great contributions to the development of country music, and also left valuable recording materials for early country music.

Many country musicians have made great contributions to bringing country music out of the south or midwest, among which hank williams is the most important. Jambalaya is Williams' most famous masterpiece and has become a world-famous classic song.

Since the 1990s, country music has been fully integrated into the mainstream of pop music. Of course, in this process, its popular color has also become stronger. By the end of the 20th century, almost no kind of music was not popular, on the contrary, it would be considered "different". Another feature is that it has become a very common phenomenon that singers and their songs win prizes across the list, and few people insist on one position. This is the result of commercial speculation. Economic leverage is playing a regulatory role, and people are willing to stoop for five buckets of rice, so following the trend has become a fashion. In 1990s, country music became more and more global, which was related to economic globalization. The world has become a global village, and "walking around" is no longer unusual. Country music is no longer a patent in the United States, and can be heard in every corner of the world, but it is less original and more contemporary. This brand-new country music has become the local accent of the villagers of the earth. There is no doubt that most singers in this period are cross-century. Young and full of hope, they are pioneers in the new century. Hip-hop hip-hop is a street culture composed of many elements, including music, dance, rap, DJ technology, costumes, graffiti and so on. At the beginning, hip-hop culture was composed of DJ, MC, hip-hop and graffiti. Hip-hop in this period is called old-school hip-hop.

When hip-hop was all the rage in the 1990s, many different styles sprouted in the new school era. Hip-Hop is not only the music produced in urban black slums, but also the voice representing the urban black poor. Rap musicians began to describe the hard life of themselves or those around them.

The word "hip-hop" is a new type of music. Since its appearance, it has not only represented a single music category. At the turn of the century in 2000, hip-hop has developed into a synonym for a new lifestyle, including music, clothing and behavior. This is called street culture! In the whole hip-hop culture, clothing is the most brilliant part. Typical dress includes: a large T-shirt with exaggerated logo, casual pants or sweatpants with side zippers, basketball shoes or checkered shoes, golf caps or baseball caps, headscarves of various styles, and hair dyed in different colors or braided. And the corresponding accessories are: tattoos, silver earrings or nose rings, sunglasses, MD walkman or MP3, skateboards, backpacks and so on. Together, these sporadic clothes form a hip-hop fashion that has been popular in the United States for 20 years. Hip-hop is a street culture and a life attitude. He has a close relationship with extreme sports such as skateboarding and BMX, as well as street culture.

Hip-hop people all have the same behavior, even if you don't know them, you can accurately judge them from their appearance. Hip hop is twenty years old! From the early 1980s to 2000, from the old school to the new school, no one liked to scratch records, and everyone was crazy about street music. The influence of this culture on the world is beyond people's imagination. In the past two decades, hip-hop culture has taken root in the United States, successfully combining entertainment, business, music and even politics. It is an independent and colorful group consciousness and a solid and irreplaceable cultural form. It's not just what we often call "black music", it's not just "checking" with gestures, and it's not just pop singers playing blues. Hip-Hop culture is Hip-Hop culture, with the same personality and emotional image as people. The word Rap rap sometimes translated as "Rip" or "Rip") originally meant to talk or chat in black slang.

As a form of pop music, it originated from the poor black residential areas in new york in the late 1970s. The main feature is to recite a series of rhyming words quickly with the mechanical rhythm as the background. Musically, its music is simple and repetitive, and most of it has no melody, only bass lines and powerful rhythms. One of its sources is that the DJ (CD player) at the disco ball inserted it according to the dance rhythm in order to introduce the record. James brown's half-speaking and half-singing style is generally regarded as one of the pioneers of rap music. Rap music became popular after the mid-1980s, and has been active in the music world since then in the form of underground music. From 65438 to 0986, Run-D.M.C's album "Rising Hell" won the first place, which indicated that rap music was commercially successful and influential nationwide.

Generally speaking, rap music can be divided into two types. One is rebellious, such as "Public Enimy", which is sometimes called "gang rap" because it often takes a challenging posture. Therefore, such songs often cause social controversy, so it is difficult to enter the charts; The other is more moderate, such as the songs sung by M.C. Hammer. M·c· Hammer was born in Oakland, California, a place full of drugs and violence. Many of his early friends were engaged in drug smuggling. Some of them became rich and some went to prison. He realized that young people must meet honest people and choose the right path. His rap music opposes drug abuse and violence and actively speaks for the younger generation of blacks. Therefore, he has achieved great success in business.

Black people like rhythm and blues, white people above the middle class listen to Ding Bangxiang's songs, and rural listeners in the midwest like country music related to rural life. But in the mid-1950s (about 1954- 1956), two obvious phenomena appeared in the record market, namely "market crossover" and "cover version".

"Market cross-border" refers to the record originally released in one market, and it has also achieved good results in another market. For example, some songs are among the best in R&B sales charts, and they are also very popular in pop songs (referring to the pop songs at that time, the continuation of Ding Bangxiang's songs). Seeing this profitable cross-market situation, some big record companies quickly produced their own versions according to popular rhythm and blues songs, resulting in a large number of "cover versions". At this time, the three markets that have been divided suddenly demanded that the middle wall fall down, and a new music style-rock music was born in this ruin.

In the early stage of rock music (from the mid-1950s to the early 1960s), rock music grew rapidly from a toddler, which made the rock music stage show a prosperous scene. First of all, the two pioneers made a relatively complete positioning for the concept of rock music. Bill haley (1925 ~ 198 1) was the first rock idol worshipped by teenagers, and was called "the father of rock music". His music style involves three aspects: country music, rhythm and blues and pop music, which also explains the three sources of rock music in the mid-1950s. As one of the pioneers of rock music, bill haley played an indelible role in the creation of rock music.

Early rock singers included Presley, Berry, Domino, Liu Fusi and the Avery brothers. 19 6 4, the British Beatles (also translated as "Beatles") performed in the United States for the first time, which aroused enthusiastic response. The main content of their singing is to express love, but they also oppose war and violence. At that time, there was a wave of anti-Vietnam War and anti-racial discrimination in the United States, and rock music played a great role in this wave. Few Americans who grew up in the 1960s had nothing to do with rock music. The singing of rock music has influenced the artistic taste of modern Americans. The famous rock bands formed in the 1970s and 1980s in the United States include punk, Rolling Stones, Sol, Heavy Metal, Rip and Pop.

The most brilliant page in the history of rock music was 1 the live broadcast of the disaster relief benefit concert held in London's humble stadium and Philadelphia's Kennedy Stadium on July 3, 1985, which was broadcast to the whole world and the audience exceeded1. 500 million people and more than 80 first-class rock bands appeared on stage to raise money for Africa suffering from severe famine. This unprecedented charity performance not only found a brand-new and spectacular expression for rock music, but also made it gain global significance.

Latin America is a multi-ethnic group, therefore, Latin music is a diversified mixed music composed of various kinds of music. Both white music in Europe, black music in Africa, Indian music in America and even Asian music in the East have made different contributions to Latin music. After a long period of precipitation, on the basis of European culture, they also absorbed a lot of factors from Indian culture and African black culture, and gradually formed a colorful, vibrant and energetic Latin culture. Among many countries in Latin America, Latin music, led by Brazil and Cuba, is at the forefront of world pop music.

Latin music attracts the attention of the world music circle with its unique rhythm and long cultural background, and Latin musicians emerge one after another. In recent years, Ricky Martin, marc anthony, enrique iglesias and other stars who have appeared in the pop music world are all representatives of a new generation of Latin music with great personality.

The pop music culture in today's world comes from the fertile soil of people's lives and is closely related to people's joys and sorrows. It is a diversified combination of the world, accepted by people of different schools, styles and singing forms, and has developed into an indispensable and necessary music culture package for international music culture. The development of pop music culture is not isolated, but a manifestation of group consciousness. It has irreplaceable unique charm and is the crystallization of many cultures.

What happened by Michael Jackson, the king of pop music, is also a Latin style song.
