Juju blends the traditional foundation of percussion and storytelling with modern elements of instrumentation and concert performance. This music was meant to be able to hold the audiences attention for a long period of time, for that reason most juju based music’s follow the same polyrhythmic as the rest of the nations music. This allowed the audience and the crowd to get involved, and keep in touch with the music.

Gone are the days where artist, songwriters, performers, producers and records companies reap full successes of songs through stage performance and radio airplay. Since 1960, a technological evolution has created many changes in how music are made, played and performed. From the era where television and radio was popular with much of its viewers and listeners being the youth to development of the Internet and World Wide Web platforms, music suffered much development.

Even though I am a Hmong person, I still need to do more research about the Hmong Population in Minnesota. At the University of Minnesota, Morris, I took a class called Southeast Asian’s history, which the professor went over a brief history of Hmong people. In this class we had to do a presentation and write a paper at the end, so I chose to do my research on Hmong people. By doing this research I learned about their history and why they came to the United States. In addition, I learned about other Southeast Asian’s history from the dominant groups to the minority groups. At ILCM, I was not working with Hmong clients only, I helped other immigrants coming from Africa to Asia. “Minnesota is home to more than 400,000 immigrants and refugee”

To describe the culture of the country in the full extent, it is necessary to investigate into its cuisine, media, performing arts, sports and recreation, as well as into its architectural heritage. Singapore cuisine is the bright example of cultural diffusion and diversity of the country, and Indian, Malay, Chinese and Tamil influences can be observed. Local people enjoy eating mee poh, bak chor mee, sambal stringray, nasi lemak, satay and chilli crab. All kind of food is usually served in hawker centers. Food of Singapore is very diverse and includes a lot of seafood with clams,

The only stringed instrument is the high pitched cavaquinho (ukulele). Together these instruments fuse to create polyrhythyms that align and cross, reinforce and contrast with each other in a lively style less formal than maxixe or marcha. Couples often dance to samba in physically close, tight movements similar to the lundu and lambada, employing voluptuous movements, gyrating hips, and heel and leg movements often said to imitate the act of lovemaking.

The traditional conjunto format deprived of a collaboration of musical instruments such as the congas, bongos, bass, piano, trees, a horn section, as well as the smaller handheld percussion instruments: claves, guíro, or maracas, which are all played by the singers. The Cuban horn section traditionally consists of trumpets, but trombones are frequently used in salsa.

The events of World War Two such as the failed Malaya campaign, the fall of Singapore, the bombing of Pearl Harbour and the stretched resources of Britain, led to Australia developing a more independent foreign policy however, independent of Britain. The changing of alliance between Britain, Australia and the United States of America has led to a substantial impact on shaping Australian society and where Australia are today. The fall of Singapore and the Malaya campaign brought the war extremely close to Australia even reaching Australian soil for the first time and generated new opinions and perspectives on the war for all Australians. Furthermore, with its greatest military defeat of all time, Britain had to recover and Australia had to

Scholars have attempted to define music, and to be quite honest, it will be a huge challenge to try to weave a definition around the art that is music, because it is beyond definition. However, for the purposes of this work, we shall adopt the definition by Aluede & Eregare (2009), not because the definition is, in itself, complete, but because it captures the very essence of what we look for in the definition of music. Music, according to Aluede & Aregare (2009), is not only an organization of sound but also a symbolic expression of a social and cultural organization, which reflects the values, past and present ways of life of human beings. Also, Jones (1975), cited in Amana and Onogu (2015), defines music as “a language which encodes emotions, aspirations and people’s goals in autonomous and self-expressive arts forms.” These definitions are important in understanding music, because they highlight the fact that music does not only appeal to the feel-good emotion, it is not only used for entertainment; it is a valid form of social expression and this underscores the centrality of music in African socio-cultural life.
