Music type

I've been looking for it for a long time, and I don't know if it meets your wishes. Please refer to.

Whether it is black soul songs, soul music, rhythm and blues or "rhythm and blues" (that is, what we call R&; Rock music, even jazz itself, can be traced back to black music from Africa.

Bruce (also translated as Bruce and Bruce) is a kind of vocal music and instrumental music based on pentatonic scale, and its other feature is its special harmony. Bruce originated from hymns, hymns, labor songs, shouts and carols of black slaves in the United States in the past. The "Voice of Blues" used in Blues and Qi Ying's singing style show its origin in West Africa. Bruce has a great influence on American and western pop music. Ragtime music, jazz, big bands, rhythm and blues, rock music, country music and ordinary pop songs, and even modern classical music all contain blues elements or are developed from blues. [1] This word is often used to describe melancholy in poetry.

Blues (English: blue, blue) has the same meaning as "blue devil", which means low-key, sad and melancholy. As early as 1798, George Coleman wrote a farce called "Blue Devil, a farce". In the19th century, this word was used to mean tremor, delirium and police. The application of this word in African-American music may be older. 19 12 Memphis william christopher handy's Memphis Blues is the earliest written record of this word in music.

Hip hop music:

Hip-hop is rooted in the improvement of the overall economic situation in the United States in the early 1970s. The black people who have been discriminated against have finally gained their social status and established their own community. But for blacks, discrimination still exists and poverty still oppresses them deeply. If they want to change their living conditions, they must make use of their natural capital. Black people have two great talents: sports and music. From jazz to rock, now, it's rap. The easiest way for black people to get ahead is to play basketball, or to make music. The definition of Hip-Hop is also composed of five parts: music, dance, graffiti, tattoo and clothing. Their appearance was not accomplished in a day, but gradually formed and established in the long process of development.

When Hip-Hop started to develop in 1970s, it was divided into four parts: 1. D.J 2。 M.C 3。 Dancer 4. Graf Before talking about the history of hip-hop, we should know that these four parts are indispensable in hip-hop culture, among which D.J. and M.C. are most closely related to music. D.j. and m.c. are working partners. A good DJ can play some simple music rhythms with two phonographs and two beat records. At this time, two kinds of people will react immediately, one is M.C. and the other is Dancer. M.C. began to read out what he thought was rap, mostly to express dissatisfaction or some trivial things in daily life. Dancer, on the other hand, began to express his dancing with his body. Needless to say, I just want to explain Graffti. I think you learn to paint, and you must really want passers-by to appreciate your work. Graffiti art (that is, painting on street walls or train carriages ...) is the expression of this mentality.

hip hop

Among the poor working-class blacks in new york in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It brings together African music, American music and artistic culture. 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 the 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 have formed 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. Simply put, hip-hop music has four important components.

Hip hop boy

In fact, the beginning of B-boy (breaking the pop-up lock) already existed as early as 1983. At that time, we called it "break dance". However, at present, this foreign culture can only be called "popular" in China, so it can't continue to this day, and at that time, the information was limited, and not many people could really understand this culture. Because of this, this kind of culture can't be passed on to the next generation perfectly, so through the running-in of 1987, it has formed a declining state and even become an outdated popular topic. "Break dancing" is certainly a kind of culture abroad, but it has become history in China in a few years.

Although Breaking stopped for a while, many new dance groups appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s (at this time, the old school has gradually formed a new school). In fact, the types of dances in China at this stage have not been clearly divided, and there are even fewer people who throw buildings, mainly locking and Poping. At this time, the source of information is Japan. In the mid-1990 s, the new school flourished, and there were many old-fashioned people, but not many people really persisted. Almost all of them are old faces during this period. It was not until the end of 1990s that the trend of "street dance" flourished and once again attracted the attention of the media.

Hip-hop dance is a kind of energetic dance, full of movement and large range of movements, which requires dancers to have good physique. One-handed handstand, forward roll, windmill turn, back spin and other actions. They are all performances with high difficulty coefficient. Stamping the yard must maintain sufficient physical support and have strong will and courage.

In film noir, we often see some strange figures painted outside the subway or even train carriages, that is, painting and doodling. These colorful patterns represent the painter's position on himself or his views and phenomena on society. However, using spray paint bottles is not simple. A real painter uses a spray bottle as a brush to paint on walls, floors and other places where painting is impossible. A famous painter can also combine with clothing to set off the fashion of clothing. Painters from all over the world build their own culture and world according to different styles, fonts and colors, which conforms to the unique and unrepeatable spirit of hip-hop.

Graffiti teenagers graffiti on the wall with spray paint to express their ideas, ideas or gangs to divide the territory; Originated in the late 1960s, it gradually became a street art.

Graffiti teenagers hold graffiti competitions with each other, and whoever has more works will be famous. They "paint" their names or pen names in conspicuous places in all possible public places to show their contempt for adult authority. They play hide-and-seek with the police with spray guns full of paint. These spray guns are often stolen.

They daubed mysterious sentences, rude skulls, faces with original mask colors, and obscene gestures in children's games on the city walls. Graffiti works are visual rap and jazz, and they are original contributions to visual arts. As an extension of popular concepts, graffiti artists have produced a large number of sketches, prints, oil paintings, sculptures, murals, T-shirts, buttons and flags.

200 1, fashion designers invariably draw lessons from hip-hop pop culture, and black-and-white or colorful graffiti works can be found on clothes, skirts, high heels and handbags.

DJ undoubtedly plays a very important role in the field of hip hop. Because both B-Boy and MC need DJ assistance, otherwise they are blind.

1967 In the United States, there is a legendary figure who immigrated from Kingston, Jamaica to the Bronx, new york, USA, and his name is Kool Herl. At that time, he was the first to put two turntables and a mixer together, creating a unique "scraping" action. So it attracted many people to enjoy his performance in the street. However, he unfortunately lost his hands in a bar fight, and Herl, known as the "father of hip-hop", had to stop performing and quit the music scene. Subsequently, more DJs became famous one after another, such as Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Master Flash. They put their DJ ideas and advanced skills into music production, thus producing dance music that was popular in the streets at that time, such as Plant Rock and Message.

Therefore, the development of DJ is not just a skill of mixing or grasping. In recent years, DJs have crossed into the field of music production, among which there are many individual producers, such as the band Pete Rock &; C.L. Smooth, Pete Rock is the DJ and producer of the band, and so is DJ Premier of Gangstarr. The role of domestic DJ has never been taken seriously, because the domestic music industry thinks that DJ has no formal musical literacy, so his works can't be put on the table; But in any case, DJ's own ideas and profound skills are "beliefs" worthy of continuing with hunger.

In the impression of ordinary people, the common "DJ" is often one hand brushing vinyl records (LP) back and forth on the turntable, and the other hand repeatedly switching on the cross fader on the mixer (controlling the sound of the left and right turntable). In fact, the correct name of this action is "scraping". Scratch is a combination that is similar to singing in rhythm or in a song, and then increases its variability. But there is not only "stroke", but also a technique of changing at a certain rhythm with two identical or different records, which is called "playing". These two techniques are commonly used in Hip Hop DJ. But in Scratch Music and Fight, there is no certain norm, and each DJ has his own style. In fact, they have been popular abroad for more than 20 years and have become a special culture. There are also some competitions, large and small, and one of them is called "DMC". It originated in the early 1980s, and a group of DJ clubs (similar to guilds) who love music were called "DJ Mix Club". So far, D.M.C has held competitions almost all over the world (USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, etc.). Then the champions from all regions compete for the world championship together (similar to the competition mode of the Olympic Games). In the competition, every DJ always shows his best and latest skills in the competition. There are also many well-known DJs in D.M.C, such as "Mixmaster Mike", "Q-Bear" and "DJ Tommy" in Hong Kong. At present, this type of DJ has always existed in China, but the space for their development is too small and the number of people involved is relatively less and less. So no matter what kind of DJ, without the support of a group, it is impossible for them to develop and eventually form a new culture.

host

MC is the person who can drive the atmosphere most, but it is not necessarily black. The original meaning of "MC" is Micphone Controller, that is, the person who controls the microphone. So many rappers will add "MC" to their stage names, such as the famous MC hammer a few years ago. After years of inheritance, today's MC needs to have various abilities, such as being able to drive the atmosphere, being able to host, being able to rap, and being able to rap freely. He is not only a performer, but also an emissary of hip-hop culture. Therefore, from the content and form of his performance, it can be divided into different fields and factions such as East Coast, West Coast and Non-mainstream. Of course, a MC with distinctive personal color can further promote the popularity of buzzwords, music and clothes, which can also be seen from the endorsement of clothing brands by so many black singers. In China, it is not easy to be a MC, because there are not so many producers in China who support this kind of performance. At most, it will be fresh to watch the performance at the party. However, in view of the current situation of love songs flying all over the sky, it is difficult to launch the rap market. It will be much easier to start working from R & ampb. But at present, MC that can add some melody and singing skills to the works is rare in China. In fact, most MC still hope that everyone can start from the perspective of "playing", which is the real element of black music. Only full of joy and happiness. Only in the current "love song first" music market can we find room to play.

Rhythm and blues

The full name of R & ampb is rhythm &；; Blues, generally translated as "rhythm complaining songs". R &； in a broad sense; B can be regarded as "black pop music", which originated from black blues music and is the basis of western pop and rock. Billboard magazine once defined R& B as all black music, except jazz and blues, which can be classified as R&; B, visible R &；; How wide is the scope of B. Hip-Hop and RAP, which are very popular in black music circles in recent years, originated from R&; Save a lot of research and development expenses during research and development. Component B.

Rap

The origin of rap music can be traced back to the chanting passages in The Roots of Black Music. In the 1970s, rap music formally established its own style, and the most important contribution was attributed to the DJ in the popular disco at that time. They mixed the funk rhythm popular among blacks with the disco rhythm, repeated the contents of the same record on the record player and made their own cycle. With the appearance of DJ's well-known and widely used "disc-playing" method, rap began to be circulated by street black culture and derived quite rich branches. For example, West Coast rap, South rap, pop rap, old-school rap, Midwest rap, Latin rap, hardcore rap and gangster rap. Foreign rap, East Coast rap, cross-border rap, comedy rap, Christian rap, alternative rap, etc. What we call Hip-Hop is a new word which is born by combining these schools with popular elements. Although as early as the early 1990s, some people thought that this kind of sloppy, abusive and rebellious concert soon disappeared, in fact, in the late 1990s, with the popularity of a group of new rappers and white-dominated rap rock, the music once abandoned by blacks returned to the forefront of pop music. At least in the new century, this trend will not fade. Rap is an important part of African-American music and the main tone of street culture and the world.
