Early humans knew it had music and songs from the days of old times. Only, it is said the music is not for entertainment, but for purposes related to the living. This interesting fact mentioned by Iegor Reznikoff, an expert on ancient music from the University of Paris X. He mentions that music and singing has been known to humans since the stone age.
In his study results, Iegor mention that about 10000-40000 years ago, humans rock music or song using to detect the new cave. They make noises to know the depth or the condition in their newfound cave. They use the technique of echo of the music it's because light can not penetrate to the torch into the cave, called Iegor which plans to present his findings at the Acoustical Society of America event in Paris.
Iegor findings are based on his analysis because he saw a number of ancient cave wall drawings contained in the French suburbs. These pictures showed activity cavemen show they are making noises. One of the caves that have a lot of old pictures is a cave at Lascaux.
According Iegor Reznikoff, from the echo technique, humans eventually developed a combination of sounds into a harmony. Slowly but surely, these sounds eventually become a habit that makes people happy.
To be sure, there is now the music has undergone many developments. Not only about life, music and even often used as a sedative therapy tool soul. So, have you listened to music today?

The Latin Jazz
Yesterday I met an old friend who invited me to listen to Jazz music. I myself not a fan of Jazz music, but on the type of Latin Jazz I am very interested, too. In casual conversations about the Jazz, my friend had a lot to share about his knowledge of jazz music. Very interesting, because in addition he was a big fan of Jazz music, he also lived a dozen years in New York to spend a lot of time enjoying the Jazz. This is part of sharingnya about Jazz music, especially of Latin Jazz.
Latin Jazz is a general term given to music that combines rhythms from African countries and Latin American countries with jazz and classical harmonies from Latin America, Caribbean, Europe and the United States.
Two main categories of Latin Jazz are Brazilian Jazz and Afro-Cuban.
Latin Jazz Brazil including Bossa Nova and samba. Latin Jazz Afro-Cuban, including salsa, merengue, Songo, son, mambo, and mambo, bucket, bolero, charanga and cha cha cha.
For jazz musicians, the music is often called "Latin" if appropriate 8-note all the swing''Swinger "
8-note like Jazz music in general. Many jazz musicians who know a lot about the history of American jazz, but maybe a little unfamiliar with the history or traditions of Latin jazz, although they may find some little-known compositions.
Latin jazz music like most types of jazz music can be played in small or large groups. Small group or combo often uses the format "Be-bop" wrote popular in 1950s America. When the musicians play a standard melody a lot of these musicians to play improvised music solo and then each plays the melody again. In Latin jazz band, percussion solo more often seen, even more often the center of attention for his solo performances. Percussion solo on the Latin jazz is more structured than in the swing bands where the drum solo rare, but it feels more contemporary and conga or timbale elements can add a melody on his show.
Latin Jazz actually begins at the end of the 1940s when Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton began to combine the rhythm section (rhythm section) and the structure of the Afro-Cuban music such as by Machito and his Afro-Cubans with jazz instruments and solo improvisational ideas. Stan Kenton arranger released an Afro-Cuban style, "The Peanut Vendor" which is widely regarded as a Latin jazz album of the first, "the first authentic Latin Jazz recording.
In 1947 Dizzy Gillespie collaborated with Machito conga player Chano Pozo to perform the "Afro-Cuban Drums Suite" at Carnegie Hall. This concert brought in a respected Latin jazz mainstream. Pozo and Gillespie's band together finally managed to produce "Cubana Be, Cubana Bop".
Compared with American jazz, Latin jazz rhythms of''straight,''rather than swung rhythm ". Latin Jazz, but wear berbirama four forms of clave. Güiro conga timbale and conga claves are percussion instruments that play an important role in the formation of Latin nuances.
Samba music from the 19th century Afro-Brazilian music such as Lundu. A modified form of the clave. Bossa Nova music mix that is based on the samba rhythm, but influenced by European and American music from Debussy to American jazz. Bossa Nova originated ditahun 1960s. The efforts of the Brazilian Antonio Carlos Jobim, João Gilberto, and American Stan Getz.
The most famous song, but still it can be argued is "The Girl from Ipanema" by Gilberto and his wife, Astrid Gilberto.
Latin Jazz is a perfect combination of Latin rhythms and jazz prase that can provide energy to the audience to be more than any type of music.
As part of the "Smithsonian Institution" of the large flow of Latin jazz, so it is rooted in fact comes from the music & music Caribbia to New Orleans. This he said has made clubs of New York until keseantero popular in today's world. More than 100 photos from the year 20s, 30s, 40an, 50an display and musicians. and the audience filled with diatmosfer swing. History shows that most of them, like Mario Bauzá and Cal Tjader, who made the music become so attractive, also the contribution of dr musicians known as Andy González and Al McKibbon. According to the book in English and Spanish, Latin jazz is a music that is very spectacular and interesting music Fusion.
19th century, there was a mixture of traditional music from the Caribbean brought by immigrants to the U.S., and spawned an atmosphere of complex new musical style. Percussion playing something dramatic and important, as well as a variety of new instruments found their way into jazz, and the complexity of African music, Caribbean and the United States became more attention.
The end of 1940 and early 1950, musicians including Mario Bauza, Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo and Machito began to mix jazz with Afro-Cuban music. Result latin jazz curator Raúl Fernández called it "a hybrid of hybrids".
In New York, the "Palladium and Birdland" features musicians of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Panama and Dominica. Lovers and jazz musicians of New Orleans and Los Angeles also received this Caribbean influence. In San Francisco, the Beats wove, the vocabulari and rhythms of Afro-Cubop received in their work. Although, the style of jazz mixed with Caribbean America.
Latin jazz makes the listener dance. Son, Mambo, Rumba, and Cumbia inspired by the rhythms of Latin jazz. Dance with this style more and more popular, especially at this time.
This music uses instruments: a tres, claves, maracas, congas, bongos, güiros, tamboras, drums, horns, cuatros, timbales, and five-key Flutes (some owned & played great jazz musician)
"Latin Jazz is a classic American art form (a classic American artform.)" John Santos, Latin Jazz is a mixture of African music with beautiful rhythms and fascinating of all aspects of Latin American in Jazz. First known as Cubop, and Afro-Cuban jazz. This was formed in New York City, as part of the socio-cultural revolution that is very large in 1930's & 40's with the racial impact of community black musicians, white and Latino, exploration & infasi of musicians who have a vision like Alberto Socarras, Ernesto Lecuona, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Mario Bauza, Machito & his Afro-Cubans, Juan Tizol, Noro Morales, Tito Puente, Chano Pozo, Stan Kenton, Chico O'Farrill, and many others.
Until now, part of the main rhythm that makes this kind of music moving very rapidly and expanding beyond the United States is the formation of Cuban music style rumba, cha cha cha, Songo, boleros, guaracha, son montuno (including the mambo and salsa) as well as contribution rhythms of Brazil (samba, Bosa nova).
So many characteristics that can define the scope of Latin jazz avant-garde (Emiliano Salvador, Hermeto Pascual, etc) to the more popular forms (Poncho Sanchez, Tito Puente, etc..) .. Compared with the popular music which contains a simple melody, chord progression is simple and almost no improvisation, latin jazz became more complex sounds. Latin Jazz music with a mixture containing the instrument (instrumental hybrid) and contains a jazz harmony of the more progressive is used in and on all rhythmic structures, mixed with a little improvisation, and rhythm-based mixture of Africa and the development of all types of Latin American music.
Brazilian popular music and samba rhythms contain or Bossanova, as famous Cuban popular music, also salsa or tropical dance music that is often flavored mystical for latin jazz.

rate music era and today's first
Yr 80s music era is the golden era of the critical music creators. They average songs and arrangements with respect to the quality of the new first music market. Why do I say so? Since they were in the 80s perkambangan musical instruments are advanced-progress, such as sound technology efeck for guitar, bass, keyboard and MIDI (Music Insrument Digital Interface). So from there came the music of artists who began experimenting with the technology that gave birth to creativity. It is also a musician in the 80s is more characteristic of "fanatics" in the appeal musicians now easy "swerved". Idealism musician was so thick that eventually led to work with melodies and beautiful lyrics. Music artist or band in that year that produced many hits you can survive until now.
When compared with the music now, in 2000s? clearly different in terms of quality, but in terms of quantity more precisely. Easy access to music and recorded the song is one cause. In earlier times, we take the example of 70 s / d 80 of the musicians would be so hard fought for the "fate" in the midst of his world charts. They'll put hope in the audience who understand music in terms of quality, both poetry and song. To get in the studio recording a band at that time to go through a long struggle to be accepted by the label (producer). Through the music festival, a gig at an open field without pay, although the origin could be used or known band in the cafe. But not today, because of advances in recording technology which is able to fund in the press because the price of recording technology became cheaper it is born of raw bands who have albums directly. They can record their own songs in the studio and introduced with Internet facilities, community or sell CDs directly onto another (independent). This is very beneficial for them because they do not have to go through hard times like that in his predecessor's fight for musicians. Then what is the result? they are so not resilient against the tide of his life. Probably the first time recording his first song the band immediately became famous because there happens to be one or two songs that were very interested in the community. But when he went into the next album, they become sluggish. In addition they prefer today's popularity in the appeal to maintain the existence of forward so forget the strong foundation for their own musical character.
Finally, technological advances and the manipulation of recorded sound system affects the quality of musicians who perform. What else in the music industry added that prioritizes money as a measure of success. Another problem is that such hedonic life so forget the values of art itself.
The History Of Capoeira
Capoeira is a traditional martial system founded in Brazil by African slaves brought by the Portuguese to Brazil to work on large plantations. In ancient times they were put through exercises to the accompaniment of musical instruments in the traditional, such as the berimbau (a wooden arch with strings struck with a small timber for agitated) and atabaque (large drum), and is also easier for them to hide the practice them in a variety of activities such as fun at the party made by the slaves in their homes called senzala. When an escaped slave he would be chased by a "hunter" named professional armed capitães-do-mato (captain forest). Usually capoeira is the only martial arts used by slaves to defend themselves. The fight they usually occur in the field in the forest in Tupi-Guarani language (one of Brazil's indigenous languages) is called CAA-puêra - some historians argue that this is the origin of the name of the martial arts. Those who could run away together in villages that bordered named quilombo, in places difficult to achieve. Quilombo the most important is that Palmares where residents have until numbered ten thousand, lasting for about sixty years against the powers that want to invade them. Chairman of the their most popular named Zumbi. While the law appears to eliminate slavery and Brazil began to import white laborers workers from countries such as Portugal, Spain and Italy to work in agriculture, many blacks had to move home to the cities, and because many of those who do not have a job began to become criminals.
Capoeira, which had become urban, and began to learn by white men, in cities like Rio de Janeiro, Salvador da Bahia and Recife, come to be seen by the public as criminals and game people on the streets, then the law appears to prohibit Capoeira. It seems that when they started using a razor blade in a fight, this is the influence of capoeira players from Portugal and sang Fado (traditional Portuguese music similar to keroncong). At that time, too few sectors of the elite racist shouting against Brazil in the cultural influence of African countries, and wanted to "whiten" their country. After about half a century in a clandestine, and mepelajarinya people in the streets and hidden in the back pages of the house, Manuel dos Reis Machado, the Master (Mestre) Bimba, held a show for the Getúlio Vargas, president of Brazil at the time it, and this is a new beginning for capoeira.
