Introduce the characteristics of these genres

The full abbreviation of r&bR&B is Rhythm & Blues, which is translated as "Rhythm & Blues" or "Rhythm & Blues".

It has derived many different music types, such as the familiar Rock'n'Roll, Disco and Rap, all of which can be regarded as developed from R&B.

Origin - the predecessor of blues R&B, appeared in the black areas of the United States in the 1940s.

At that time, not many people could afford a variety of entertainment. Black people who loved music liked to gather on the streets after dinner, play music with simple instruments such as guitars and harmonicas, and talk about life, work, leaving home, etc.

Feel.

This led to the development of Blues, the predecessor of R&B.

With the invention of the tape and the emergence of more and more small radio stations, blues music began to break out of black circles and became popular in Chicago.

I don’t know if it’s because blues music has been talked about as sad for too long. Music fans are eager to hear blues songs with strong rhythm, bright tunes and not too sad content.

The musicians followed the changes in public tastes and added piano, drums, saxophone and the latest technology of the time - electronic guitar to their works, allowing the audience to follow this new-school blues music with a strong sense of rhythm (Rhythm).

Blues) dance, creating the classic "rhythm song".

Fresh Rhythm Important R&B musicians from the 1950s and 1960s included Ray Charles, Ruth Brown and The Drifters.

Listening to their classic works, you will find that they are very different from the R&B music we are familiar with, such as Jay Chou, Hikari Utada, etc.

But as far as musical elements are concerned, they still have many similarities.

The most outstanding thing is the rhythm part.

Most R&B works use 4 beats as a measure and 12 beats as a paragraph.

Different from traditional white pop music, the rhythm song emphasizes the 2nd and 4th beats of a section, which is a very fresh rhythm effect.

The sound quality changes greatly. The timbre of the singing voice or musical instruments will vary greatly.

Sound quality is the "texture" of sound.

When we hear "Mud", we will feel that Xu Zhian's singing is very tragic; and the sound of the wooden boy flute often gives us a very lively feeling.

This is the effect of the different timbres of vocals and instruments.

In R&B works, such as Jay Chou's "Bullfighting" or "Lady", we can easily find that the beginning and chorus have obviously different treatments in terms of music or vocal use.

Vocals and instrumental parts often echo each other - in R&B songs, when the singer sings certain notes, the musical part or the harmony singer will repeat/sing those notes again, like "Question and Answer"

, or create a "yes man"-like effect.

Another characteristic of R&B is that some phrases and sentences are repeated many times.

Just like the continuous "I don't, I don't, I don't" in "Tornado", it is an obvious example.

R&B, which was popular all over the world in the 1950s, was able to shock white youth in the United States. In addition to its strong rhythm, its frank, direct and non-coy lyrics were also one of the main reasons.

Influenced by different music types, markets, technology and culture, today's R&B has evolved from the black street music of the past to a world-wide hit that has conquered major sales pop charts in the UK, America, Europe and Asia.

The impact of R&B is not limited to music. Even our fashion, dress, culture, lifestyle, attitude, behavior, and behaviors have also undergone certain changes due to R&B music.

In this way, R&B has become a channel for many black people, red people, yellow people and white people to understand each other and appreciate each other's culture!
