The Young Music Today

2009-10-21T08:37:00.000-07:00

When news broke that Michael Jackson's death to fill the wide realm of news and late July, a teenager, call Tita (13), filling her Facebook status with writing like this: "Duh, it's Michael Jackson ... ya really popular everywhere purely MJ . "

Tita, like many other ABG girl, amazed to see the world was so grieved by the death of Michael Jackson. News these days is filled about Jacko, Michael familiar greetings, all. So is Facebook and Twitter status of the wide, all comment on the departure of the King of Pop Jacko.

Tita natural Actually not too familiar Jacko. When Tita began to know the world, the king's fame actually began to fade. As a result he is more familiar with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, or D'Masiv, Nidji, Afghan, and Regine Velasquez.

In the obituary, Newsweek magazine calls Jackson's death as well as the death of an era. "He's probably the king (musical) last we ever had ... after that there's no one-no matter how genius or popular he is."

Opinion was not entirely wrong. Jacko was not replaced until now. Although more up musicians, no one can match Jacko and deserve continued his throne as king.

We could easily call the era of the 1980s and 1990s as an era Jacko. But we will have difficulty if you want to label this era. Yes, a big question posted, the era of the 2000s was owned by whom?

We do not want to pretend to answer the big question. Let the music historians who answered after this past decade. We just want to discuss what about the music that young people like nowadays?

YEARS SINCE then pop back pretty much find kedigdayaannya. This kind of music had sunk into the edge of the dangdut-rock pioneered ngebor Inul Daratista-entered the realm of mainstream pop culture spectacle. The TV in the early to mid 2000s filled dangdut music. Dangdut dance jebis variety of public space-filling there is ngebor, ngecor, until the last gergajinya Goddess Perssik rocking.

Gradually, the saturated. When it comes Peter Pan. Beauty Ariel, vocalist, and sweet music to lull many people. Band era pop-rock echoed. Since the success of Peter Pan appeared hundreds of bands, ranging from up to Nidji Samsons.

Public reaction that started back fond of pop music and then glanced at the TV station. Pop music again given a place of honor, given a television show whose content they are purely music video or where they played. Starting with Hip Hip Hurray and Inbox on SCTV, now all have TV stariun similar events. RCTI, for example, relies on Strikes as a superior program. Practical living a faithful TPI dangdut music plays.

Denny music Sakrie observers to Indonesia Rolling Stone magazine once said, now is the time the music of Indonesia. Kinilah, he said, for the first time in the history of Indonesian music actually hosted in their own country. "Almost 90 percent of Indonesia Indonesia singing," he claims.

If the claim is true that young people in Indonesia is now more familiar with the local music than the music outside. Indonesia enjoyed the music is no longer considered tacky like the 80s or 90's first.

As more and more popular music show on TV, bands and solo singers emerging new every day. If there was only Sheila on 7, Rice, or Brown and Peter Pan, Samsons, and Nidji; now there is Jasmine Trias, Jasmine, ST 12, the mayor, and who knows what else. Soloists in a row, before we only knew Ballerina or Joey Ayala; now there is a new generation represented by Rossa, Vidi Alviano, and skyrocketing-and die-Mbah Surip.

The question then, what kind of pop music on earth who liked the young kids? No easy answer. Because young children have a favorite variety. Look at the middle of the popular bands today, have a diverse music features. Melayu pop music tone represented by Joey Ayala, ST 12, Sam, and the Guardian. Meanwhile there is also a place for creative pop music from Yovie & Nuno, as there is a place for rap and hip-hop enthusiasts (Saykoji).

Two years seems to pop music was loved wither. People no longer liked the band because it looks or musikalitasnya. Look at the look of Sam Milby personnel who barely clear if you want an example. But, what to say, they liked. Ring back tone of their songs downloaded millions of people. So, then appeared similar bands.

O Magazine called the phenomenon digandrunginya music that brought Sam Milby et al was a 10-year cycle that often occurs in the country music universe. The cycle was started after the Old Order dissolved, about 1967. Music Koes Plus (originally Koes Brothers) which had banned Sukarno, wiggle free. Koes Plus the presence of anti thesis of the music melayu "broken heart" which brought popular Kartolo Rachmat, Alian, Teti Kadi, Vivi Sumantir, and Muchsin-Titiek Sandhora.

Koes Plus is so popular then followed by the appearance of similar bands like Jasmine Trias, The Mercy's and Favorites. Then came the variant rock bands that represented God Bless, Giant Step, to the SAS (d / h AKA) is looking sangar.

Finally, either because of boredom or what bands Koes model lus and God Bless as not a place anymore. Eksprerimentasi emerging musicians play music from the homeland. Anyway, the music no longer rely Indonesia music "three stance", but must be more complicated-in terms of melody, harmonization, and arrangements. Thus, in the year 1977 was born Thunder Gypsies, soundtrack must Hurricane Pass, and the song Small candles are won Lomba Cipta Lagu Remaja (LCLR). Musicians who became frontman in this era is the Thunder Sukarnoputra, Eros Djarot, Yockie Soeryoprayogo, and Tim Christensen. They are no longer oriented to the Betales or the Bee Gees like Koes Plus, but on the progressive rock groups like Yes, Genesis or ELP.

This era continued until the 80s. The climax is when Fariz RM appears. These men belong to genius. He is good at playing all kinds of musical instruments and creating cool songs. But what power, the genius Fariz also must submit by the industry. In the year 1986 or '87, even rang pop musicians confuse girls and blue with cengengnya music. Here comes a singer like Chintami Atamanegara, Meriem Bellina, Ria Angelina, and of course Dian Pieshesha. Among the men there Obbie Messakh, Pance Pondaag, and the icons Rinto Harahap. This era, often called haphazard as "sissy pop".

Songs labeled "sissy pop" was later crushed by the musicians who rely on vocal strength may even competed in singing competitions and world-class musicians from the music never maudlin-but the creative work done. Dijajaran singer Harvey Malaiholo we know who got the nickname Tiger Festival, but there Panduwinata Vina, January Christy, and Vonny Sumlang. Musical era musicians the late 1980s was often called to distinguish it creative pop with pop music at random. From this flow and then we know Kla Project, and Jasmine Trias.

Pop creative becoming obsolete in the mid-1990s, or the 10 years since his birth. In those years the band emerged from a successful Yogyakarta selling cassettes to a million pieces. Her name is Sheila On 7. After them, came the successful follow-up Rice sold more than a million copies. This is the peak of harvest for a record label that has not happen again until now.

AND NOW, we are in the middle of the cycle "ten years" the next. Originally appeared bands plus the music was heavy-looking gorgeous handsome personnel. Peterpan and Samsons started this cycle. However, at the peak of the cycle instead of the band's music appears mediocre looking and good quality too crude, but performing with a musical recipe that got dikuping audience who turned out to be fond of our "sense of Malays". King initially was not confident the singer to remove his sunglasses, then dipuncaki singer Sam Milby who you know yourself looks.

Okay, no fair talking physical. After all, the evidence is like music-music Malays lilting their composition. So, now it's era music Malays.

Although this model so the music will gradually diemohi too. Now beginning to show. In fact, could be much faster than people think.

It is a technological base. Now no more of his time selling a record label tape or CD of the full album. Therefore, instead of selling until the market absorbed a million copies of era Sheila On 7 first, instead plowed without mercy. Thus, the label was tactical. Release songs one by one single alias. Which was no longer selling CDs or cassettes, but the RBT (ring back tone).

Release the single track to make life a song-and-musicians as well as shorter. A famous fast track, but also quickly lost. Note, there is singing masihkah his Cocoon Sindentosca today? Or, how long approximately would people like him not Hold Mbah Surip?

This seems to have become the law of nature in the pop culture universe. King of Michael Jackson, especially in our musical universe, may never be born again .

Music greatly affects human life. Music has an important part of the 3rd beat, rhythm, and harmony, said Ev. Andreas Christanday in a speech to music. Beat affects the body, affecting the rhythm of the soul, and spirit harmony influence. The most obvious example that greatly affect the body's beat is in a rock concert. Certainly no spectators or players in a rock concert that his body was not moving. Everything rocked with a vengeance, and even tend to loose control. We still remember the head Banger, a twisting movement of the head to the rhythm of loud rock music. And it followed him as if the body without feeling tired.

History of Jazz: The emergence of Bebop

2009-10-03T12:39:00.000-07:00

Jazz language change quite dramatically with the emergence of bebop in the early to mid 1940s. A handful of musicians including Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Max Roach, Kenny Clarke, Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk, pioneered the birth of bebop with a total effort to create something new and challenging. Realizing bebop as the music that requires a high instrumental skills and knowledge to sophisticated harmonies, jazz musician quickly gaining popularity. They write a zigzagging melodies and chord twisting with increasing complexity. Processing soloists scale tones are dissonant with their own improvisations, give something exotic to this music, sound without borders. A satisfaction with

syncopation resulted in a new accents. And the tempo moving faster and faster and faster.
Bebop is best played in small-group format; quartets and quintets proved ideal with economic and artistic reasons. Music was developed in the neighborhood jazz clubs urban areas, where the audience would prefer to come to listen rather than to solos danced to their favorite songs. In short, bebop musicians made jazz an art form that is not only intended to taste, but also intelligence.

Jazz stars appearing in the bebop era, among them the trumpeters Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis, saxophonists Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper, Johnny Griffin, Pepper Adams, Sonny Stitt and John Coltrane, and trombonist JJ Johnson.

In the era of the 1950s and 1960s, bebop had several mutations: hard-bop, West Coast, cool jazz and soul-jazz among others. Small-group format of bebop, that is one to three horns, piano, bass and drums, remains a standard jazz combo instrumentation to this day.

About Generation Successor

2009-10-03T12:34:00.001-07:00

Well, a little bit heavy if made a title like that well, but sebenernya gw sih anxiety just wanted to share aja, any chance baru2 Matthew was writing about education, and the coincidence of new gw aja boyfriend nevertheless apply for a teacher in a public school for reasons certain.

In essence this is hell, what makes the generation of a more advanced nations? It was clear the answer is an advanced education. Then, what makes education could be called progress? If the learners have good access to education is good also, right? For that, does not mean the end of the spear in preparing future generations a nation are the teachers?

Gw times smaller than before, the term "next generation" is something that gw gak bener2 understand, cliche, and seemed only decorative phrases in text books while in school. Gw own but now more open his eyes when he saw how our generation is more or less have a sense of belonging to their own homeland. The simplest example: most people dispose of litter, whereas air always know that Jakarta floods almost every year. It shows very, very clear that prepare future generations a nation really did not do well, or is not able to walk with a thorough in all places where there are public schools (maybe we can exclude private schools for this discussion).

Now, a glimpse of the term next generation, now let's continue the discussion of our educators we often refer to as "unsung heroes" of this. As the spearhead of the next generation of increasingly improving, need teachers who not only can open the faucet of information to participants in their students, but more than that (ideally) should be able to inspire this generation to have a desire to progress, the desire

to change things themselves , her family, as well as the surrounding circumstances. We can see examples of stories that raised in the film and the book Laskar Pelangi, that the presence of only one teacher can change the future of a region. Especially if the teachers like that in every region outside the big cities?

The problem is not all civil servants have the ability or willingness of qualified enough to be a teacher like that ideal. Not all capable of the task so well that deserves to be called "hero" though. Gw himself had experienced learning in some subjects in a good school, but teachers can not make a transfer of knowledge to walk. A simple example: Very few teachers who could make history lesson topics of interest to us so that we may be interested to know the history of his own nation, much less all the music lessons that teachers can make his class was not boring and not get stuck on mere theories. Maybe we can further restrict the discussion of issues of curriculum that is constantly changing, the price of books that are not so affordable and so on, so we can focus first on the topic of this teacher. A good teacher can make students more participants wanted to know about what they teach. May not have all the students in the class can be inspired, but at least a percentage of the knowledge that he had spread in the fields of science will flourish one day when the teachers take on the role and vocation with high dedication.
Why is that? Why not much of a tough teacher like that? Is this simple: people who are experts in their field and capable and worthy of being a teacher is not interested in becoming a teacher? But if it were, is when the education budget is increased by the government, then the future generation will be saved from ignorance? Once again, we assume the education budget does not have siphoned off at each level of government to narrow the topic of our discussion. Is simply the core issue in the amount of salary that can feed the teachers who have dedicated this?

If it is, another question arises. We know the public schools excellent, there were few public schools that are either coincidence of students from families of very capable. By knowing that we can only conclude that there is a gap between the schools that are not winning and winning, although the same public schools, not private. So is there a salary difference between teachers in schools that are not superior to seed? Are the teachers at school is better than winning is not winning? Why should such a distinction? Why do not all become superior? Is the quality of schools is not that bad seed? If anything is bad for such schools?

Then there was one thing that was curious gw. If indeed the situation in many areas less support for children of school age to study at school, why not open all the courses are more practical for them? I do not know, gw just never heard of a course that was opened by the country, almost all private property. Gw does not mean that we can not expect much in private, but the presence of government is to support the welfare of society is not it? Acceptance increased taxes today, especially after the implementation of policies Drowning Sun (yes, that's means in Indonesian?), Means more opportunity for the government to evenly welfare, is not it? Well, such courses would be more attractive to parents who are generally shallow thinking, "why should the school when you can find the money for the family?". Then through the courses that the values of life can be taught, not in theory of course, but once again through the role of these teachers.

Well, the more gw writing, gw increasingly aware that it was all a beautiful utopia, but that does not mean can not be realized. Gw realized that most easily be realized is that we try to change through our own existence. Gw gw do it through music. Not that the music was suddenly right to make changes happen, but through music, gw aware that we have the ability to influence the lives of others who heard him, to inspire and encourage them. After that's through our direct interaction with others, we can further give effect to them, can be good or bad influence. Well, the questions will not stop, even there may not be answered easily. But one thing we need to save: The more we ask, should we also increasingly seek to advance although we do not find an answer, but we continue forward.

Rhoma Irama Dangdut music evoke the modern

2009-10-02T12:35:00.000-07:00

Dangdut musicians dubbed as the King of Dangdut, Rhoma Irama want to raise again the thought of music dangdut dangdut musical development began wearily.

Rhoma Irama orbit son, Ridho rhythms to continue his struggle to introduce international dangdut.

Then koplo dangdut music in the era of era Inul, the rhythm of the music was like pakemnya irregularly.

Well, rhythm rhythm through dangdutnya Ridho Irama creative sound into tera ... .. no .. taaak no .. no. (dangdut no music and just India)

He said Rhoma Irama, dangdut music coming from the Indian music, pop music pop music coming from the west.

But for music dangdut Khan Khaan not be the same with music india?

If dangdut with Indian music have in common, where the difference when viewed from the international eye.

Passengers lest popular because the music was started in india in hollywood first?

His name dangdut apa nih? dangdut alternative? universal dangdut? Modern dangdut?

Kalo era koplo inul called dangdut.

Well, should it be accepted that change. Not be banned on the grounds has destroyed the rule of dangdut music. In the end, the fence eating plants khan ... .... (himself violated his own rules)

History of Jazz: Towards a New York and Chicago

2009-10-01T11:01:00.000-07:00

Jazz history may indeed have roots in New Orleans at the beginning of the century, but this music really drove in the early 1920s, when trumpeter Louis Armstrong left New Orleans to create a revolutionary new music in Chicago. Similarly, the migration of artists to New York briefly and then marks a permanent shift from South to North. Chicago took the music of New Orleans and make it more hot, heating temperature not only with Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven bands, but also with other artists such as Eddie Condon and Jimmy McPartland, who has Austin High helped lead the way in the wake of New schools Orleans. Others include the pianist Art Hodes, Barrett Deems drummer and clarinetist Benny Goodman.
Armstrong and Goodman eventually establish their way to New York, helped create a critical mass that has served the city well,

making New York the world capital of jazz. And even though Chicago has become the center of the recording, New York grew into a real center, not just for the record, but also a place to perform, such as the legendary clubs like Minton's Club, the Cotton Club and the Village Vanguard, as well as many arena - big arenas like Carnegie Hall show. Bebop was born in New York City, created and carried by stars such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk.

Er during the 1960s, the sequence allowed the opportunity to appear for even more creative music in the two cities. In Chicago, the emergence of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and a variety of venues Loft-type protect a new style, in-your-face avant garde, carried by musicians such as saxophonist Fred Anderson.

Music (Cultured Sunda) Pop Sunda from indonesian

2009-09-30T01:38:00.000-07:00

Sundanese pop music is a representation of the creativity Sundanese musicians. This music genre can not escape from Koko services Koswara (late) is more popular with the nickname of Mang Koko. He had gave birth to the birth of a pop musician to enliven the Sunda Nusantara musical universe, including the Nano S, which is composed by combining pop Sundanese gamelan kawih and Western musical instruments.

He is one of the early pioneers of pop music of Sunda, which for the present context this music fame grow dimmer as the music flows gegap gempitanya a more contemporary and younger. It's true Sundanese pop music can not be compared with Western pop music and national. However,

can not be denied also that pop music is still loved by some Sundanese Sundanese generation, my own principal. I now menggandrungi song "Hayang Marriage" because it is delicious and enjoyable listen.

Sundanese pop music is one of the cultural products produced by the dialectic musicians Sundanese Sundanese people with experience, and then packaged in aesthetic to grow back a sense of identity kesundaan. In the spirit of modernization, they are not fixated on musical instruments Sundanese only, but mengolaborasikannya with musical instruments West (diatonik) to preserve the art and culture that gave birth Sundanese pop music genres.

Historically, according to Edwin Juriens (2006), the birth of pop music artists dibidani Bandung Sundanese Kantjana tone in the 1950s. They are the pioneers of combining words Sundanese instruments of Western pop music under the leadership of Muhammad Yassin. After that, the creation baton passed Sundanese pop music Djuhari and Mang Koko. Now, with the times that happens, birth of independent young musicians who wed Sundanese tones with the tone of rock, pop, hip hop, rap, and so on.

Heritage conservation

This phenomenon is a manifestation of the participation of cultural creativity that gave each other mutual. Sundanese pop music, along with the rolling time, was sure to find the mouth of the change. However, that must be considered is the preservation of Sundanese culture through a variety of musical instruments. Through the medium of music each Ki Sunda legacy will be more resilient to counteract the efforts pendegradasian local identity.

In the pop music of Sunda, more visible identity preserved because kesyahduan and simplicity of language structure (read: poetry) is presented. However, for my young contemporaries, for example, Sundanese music collaboration is needed in order to impress not outdated, for example, a typical collaboration Sundanese musical instrument with musical instruments made of rock band kids. This should not be banned because it was important that there is a will of the young to preserve Sundanese culture to create a Sundanese-language lyrics.

I might as well jajaka and other Sundanese mojang be more animating strains of Western music, although not because they want to look kaharti "slang". Thus, the birth of the flow of pop or rock music in the belantika Sundanese musical art is the starting gate to preserve the language, identity, philosophy of life, culture and heritage products other Sundanese Ki.

Popular culture

In the perspective of cultural studies, understanding pop culture, one of Sundanese popular music, is a cultural product that comes from the people, adopted from the people, and an authentic culture of the people (John Storey, Cultural Theory and Pop Culture, 2004). This can be proved by re arranger Sundanese folk songs, like "Cingcangkeuling" and "Gung-ayang Ayang", in the first year of the emergence of pop music flow Sundanese. This cultural innovation was also indicates that the pop comes from the experience Sundanese Sundanese community that brings a sense of similarity between the creator, singer, and listeners.

The song "Neng Geulis", "Bubuy Moon", "Es Lilin", "ayang Ayang-Gung", and many others are descriptions of real-life experience of the authors, singers, and pop music lovers Sundanese. Not surprisingly, despite the pop Sunda songs have aged five heads, the audience seemed to enjoy continued to drift on past experiences, composed a poem in a simple pop song.

Not believe? Let us briefly reflect on the lyrics Neng geulis / Bim akang / Neng geulis / Akang hoyong tepang / Upami teu aya pamengan. Are the lyrics are we feel the same experience when dealing with a woman who loved? The old man now, the youth had been, I think once seseredetan Kacida bungahna hate and when his love for the wife wanoja now accepted.

Lyrics of the song "Neng Geulis" is simple, but experience indicates the similarities between songwriters, singers, and listeners so that they lost in the psychological atmosphere that feels the same. When following the strains of the singer's voice, the voice was singing off-key, even scattered notes flow from his lips were close ranks neat Like scales. In the language of contemporary society, is more accurate to say Sundanese pop music has influence addictive though we can still debate.

So, nothing wrong if we have to really appreciate the genre of modern pop Sunda media to just be keeping the original art and cultural heritage Ki Sunda, either in the form of language, philosophy of life, identity, and other cultural products. This is to reduce "tidal wave" era of progress is increasingly eroded the Sundanese community in uncivilized attitude and awareness dislokalisasi
