My name is Kristin Landeros and this song "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo is more of a song that makes me happy due to its beat and rhythm vs. Its lyrics. It always reminds me of my first vacation on a cruise ship which, was so much fun and so relaxing. It makes you happy and you can't help but dance and forget about your stress or busy life, just for a little bit.

In conclusion, the cultural interpretation of this song can go so more deeper and further. This abstract already shows a basic analysis on the song and how the band portrays a meaning and is so popular that it actually spreads the message across. The vocabulary in the song to refer to Latin Americans are mainly where their group work, value and unity are praised. In this way not only issues are shown but also addressed by representing their

This song Desperado means a lot to me because it played on the album that I used to sing along in the car with my mom and sister when I was a small child. It acts as part of a symbol in the childhood that I so dearly cherish, and long to return to. The song is played on the album “Their Greatest Hits” and has a more country beat to it, which I enjoyed more, than their more rock and roll take on their music. When I sing along to this song, or any song on this album, I am taken back to the days where all the windows were down in my mom’s white minivan, blowing my blonde wispy curls in my face, and the heat of the warm sunshine on my skin. I think

While it is easy to find a song with a good beat it can be hard to find music with a good message not just if it swears but what it’s actually talking about. The song I chose,”My Church” by Maren Morris luckily fits into both categories of good music and good lyrics. Her song includes symbolism, allusions, and poetic elements, giving this song poetic merit. The song is a giant metaphor for the fact the music that we listen to can be like church.

“no churches in the wild” is a song made by Jay-z with Kanye west featuring in It, right from the start of the song you know that something is not right, it is not a usual hip-hop song, the more you listen to it you can pick more and more out of it for example;

The prosperity of In Paris railway station, two strangers sat down on the same piano bench and performed a remixed masterpiece, which attracted a bunch of people and brought a great joy for them. Such various positive role that music plays exists everywhere and everytime in human beings’ life. Meanwhile, music emits its perfume as an incredible intermingling, as such, it does not only give people miscellaneous emotions but also endows us both microcosmic and macroscopic insight to observe the diverse world we live in. It is worth noting that Moises Velasquez Manoff currently states his own perspective, “The Meaning of Despacito in the Age of Trump”, of the New York Times. Mr Manoff published his opinion based on how the song “Despacito” approaches the most streamed song in history when issues of nativism and panic from both residences and non-residences are skyrocketed. More significantly, Mr Manoff notably highlights the virtue of the song, such as the song itself “binds us as a global community”, considered “Despacito” contains different races, classes even national cultures. In a nutshell, music is able to make the world better and better, insteading of barely making America white again through its capability to strengthen cohesion, ease tension, encourage spirit and build foundation of education for living creature.

Macklemore (Ben Haggerty), Ryan Lewis, and Mary Lambert wrote this song together. It is a part of a partnership with the Music for Marriage Equality campaign. It drives home topics about hetero and homosexuality, and overall acceptance. Listening to this song made me realize that I, myself, have common views with the three talents that put it together. Same feelings on Christianity, marriage equality, and life basically.

Moreno asserts that ““Too many times, we have read our history books that have been written by Europeans, and it has had a tremendous impact in the way we view our culture and listen to our music. I do think that our identity is lost with it and at some point, we try to find it again later in life” (7). Students are able to see a different point of view rather than only the perspectives of textbook writers who at times deprive students from the full truth and the media who exaggerates or embellishes the truth. Many artists and musicians express their anger and oppression through music and students are able to listen to this and get the complete synopsis of problems happening in the world. For instance, in “The Embodiment of Salsa: Musicians, Instrument and the Performance of a Latina Style and Identity,” Patria Roman-Velasquez argued that the embodiment of salsa develops through specific practices whereby instruments, performance techniques, vocal sounds, bodily movements and ways of dressing are encoded and experienced as part of a particular Latin identity. Therefore, this expressing that music has much of an influence in Latin identity and the construction of identity and

In various scenes we can see how the characters of the film, show how they are proud to be Mexican and how proud they are to be in Mexico. For example, in one of the shorts scenes, we can see a lady grabbing the soil in the ground and making a fistful and holding it tight. Another scene that caught my attention, was the scene where a man is looking at a pueblo from far away and there is a lady talking about how he was born there and how he learned how to become a man, but then it shifts to a kid and talks about how the land is their first mother which I think it’s powerful because the woman’s voice gets louder as the the scene changes but it also gets to almost whispering and when they combine that to the music to the background it makes a more powerful scene. Also, we are shown many scenes with music, one of those scenes is from “Alla en el rancho grande” which shows Cruz singing with his uncle how proud she is about Mexico and we are also shown the scene with Pedro Infante and Jorge Negrete singing about aguas frescas, tamales, buñuelos, y gorditas de comal and then they sing about how beautiful fiestas in Mexico are.

I like this song because it doesn’t use vague lyrics or symbolic language. It gets to the point and easily shows why the speaker is

The song “Take Me to Church” by Hozier talks about sexual orientation and how christian religion or more specifically the church treats these matters. The song shows how negatively gays are treated by the church and how they aren’t accepted. The line “We were born sick, you heard them say it.” is referring to the fact that Christians often think that there is something wrong with gays and that being attracted to someone of the same gender is considered a sin. In the next verse there is the line, “The only heaven I’ll be sent to is when I’m alone with you.” Here the singer is disregarding what anyone says because he feels truly at peace when he is with the one he loves.

“Take me to Church,” written by Hozier sparked major controversy throughout the correlation of religion and sexuality since its debut in 2014. This song represents the conflict that homosexuals encounter as they disprove the nature of how Christianity is preached. Through the use of symbolism, metaphors, and similes, Hozier was able to specifically design his lyrics to emphasize the corruption of the church regarding its views on homosexuality. The symbolism that is brought up throughout the song is perhaps the equilibrium that brings the song together. Hozier uses the first verse to describe his virtuous “girlfriend” by saying, “She's the giggle at a funeral, Knows everybody's disapproval, I should've worshipped her sooner.”

Their sense of belongingness gives the people pride, because the songs embody the rich history, culture, and values of Mexico. As a result, people in in Mexican communities are able to proudly identify themselves as Mexicans. With a vast amount of culturally proud people, Mexican culture will ultimately be kept alive.

“This is my country” is a nationalistic song where the performer used their praise of country to show people how they are proud to be a Mexican people. While listening to the vocalist’s breath control, I felt that they did not need to hold a long breath to make high or long tone, which make me feel, it is a chest voice and more than falsete. Even though, the song is about how they are proud to be a Mexican. From their singing, I felt it is a sad song and from the lyrics, I found that the performers mentioned their country has a flower of sadness and a pained heart. The first time, I listened to this song, I remembered that, I heard this singing style before which it was hallelujah, where people sing in church, one of them that have a similar
