  In my blog, I will be interviewing my mom about the music he listened to when she was younger, in her  years, and what he listens to now. Malik-  How important was music to you?

Big Blog 1-Western Swing

Image
American music in the vibrant Western Swing style dates back to the early 1900s. It created a joyful and unique sound by combining elements of big band, jazz, blues, and country music. It's wonderful for dancing and has a lot of instruments. Due to its cross-cultural influence and popularity during difficult periods like the Great Depression and World War II, this music is significant. It also greatly influenced country music and helped to popularize the steel guitar. Western Swing's continued influence on contemporary music demonstrates how significant and enduring it was in the history of American music. I recognize the 1920s and 1930s as the era when Western Swing first formed, especially in the Southwestern United States, where Texas, Oklahoma, and California were major contributors to the genre's growth. The coming together of several musical influences in the area gave rise to this genre. Western Swing started to take shape in the vibrant dance halls, honky-tonks, and...

Music & Gender

  My life has always been greatly influenced by music, which I use as a means of inspiration, comfort, and self-expression. I can't help but think about how gender and music are deeply connected as I move around the world of music. This relationship spans several areas, including the depiction of gender in song lyrics, industry dynamics, and the influence of music on gender identity and empowerment. The ability of song lyrics to sway people's notions of gender has me overwhelmed whenever I listen to music. They represent society's expectations and ideals, either upholding or opposing gender norms. I'm annoyed by the sheer number of songs throughout history that promote gender stereotypes and objectify women. The growth of musicians who utilize their music as a platform for subversion and empowerment, however, gives me hope. Songs like BeyoncĂ©'s "Flawless" and Kesha's "Praying," which address problems of self-acceptance and resiliency, have a ...
