[07:11.99]READING THE SOUNDS OF THE WORLD
[07:20.14]There is a world of music out there!
[07:25.20]What we hear on the radio or see on TV
[07:31.27]is only a small part of all the wonderful music that is waiting for us.
[07:39.21]Most of us probably like pop music and have our favourite performers,
[07:46.65]stars or bands,but many of us also want to discover new sounds and rhythms2.
[07:55.43]Here is a brief look at some of the exciting musical styles
[08:01.78]from around the world.
[08:05.15]Blues3 music has a long history.
[08:09.90]The blues is a way for people to show who they are and what is in their heart.
[08:17.35]People have been playing the blues for many years,
[08:22.62]but the music has kept many of its characteristics.
[08:28.47]The blues comes from African songs that people used to sing
[08:34.64]when they worked and during festivals.
[08:38.77]The African songs met American music when African slaves were brought to the US.
[08:46.60]The blues has been part of African American culture since then,
[08:52.53]and it is still an important part of American culture.
[08:57.99]Other musical styles,like jazz and rock music,have all come from blues music.
[09:06.14]Today's American culture contains many different musical styles.
[09:12.62]People still listen to blues and rock,but they also listen to hip-hop and rap4.
[09:19.99]Hip-hop and rap have much in common with blues and rock,
[09:25.45]but they also have their own characteristics.
[09:30.10]Hip-hop music often combines parts of other styles
[09:35.56]to create music that will help people hear new things in old music.
[09:41.72]Perhaps the most impor tant characteristic of rap music
[09:47.08]is the way the artists sing.
[09:50.84]In rap music,
[09:54.00]the singer or "rapper" will speak or"rap" the words along with the beat.
[10:01.65]Another important style in today's world of music is Latin5 music.
[10:08.50]Latin music--music that uses taditional styles from Latin America
[10:15.47]has spread all over the world.
[10:19.60]In the US,where there are many Spanish speaking people,
[10:25.24]Latin music is a big part of the culture.
[10:30.10]It has always been popular in Spanish speaking countries
[10:35.56]and today stars like Santana and Ricky Martin are known throughout the world.
[10:43.11]There are of course many other interesting styles of music.
[10:48.46]There is a wide variety of new music to be discovered in every corner of the world,
[10:56.33]so the next time you look for a tape or a CD,
[11:01.99]don't just look for Chinese or American music
[11:07.25]open your ears to the sounds of the world!
[11:12.21]INTEGRATING SKILLS
[11:18.74]Reading and writing
[11:22.29]POP VERSUS6 ROCK
[11:26.05]Rock and pop music are becoming more and more similar,
[11:31.33]but there are still some important differences.
[11:36.01]Most pop singers make music their career.
[11:40.76]They use music to become rich and famous,
[11:45.31]and they sing songs that will be liked by everybody.
[11:50.06]Rock singers,on the other hand,make music their life.
[11:56.23]They play music to satisfy their inner7 desire.
[12:01.08]They do not think how much money they can make from a song
[12:06.13]instead,they sing for their emotions and live for music.
[12:12.37]Pop songs and rock songs are written in different ways.
[12:17.65]A pop song is written in a "factory"where one person writes the words,
[12:23.99]someone else the music and other musicians record it.
[12:29.64]The singer often knows little about the ideas or feelings behind the song
[12:35.98]The process of making rock music,however,is totally different.
[12:42.15]The singers and musicians are all able to write music and work together in a band.
[12:49.12]When one of them has a strong feeling,
[12:53.38]he or she expresses it with music and the others help build the song.
[12:59.83]Because of the different ways of thinking and writing songs,
[13:04.69]rock and pop songs also tell different stories.
[13:09.66]Most pop songs tell simple stories about love and are written to entertain people.
[13:16.50]They are popular for a short time,but will soon be forgotten.
[13:22.38]Rock music,on the other hand,expresses true feelings about society,
[13:29.14]friendship and even war.
[13:32.98]Some rock songs are also about love,but the feelings they express are deeper.
[13:40.24]For example,love in a pop song is either good or bad,
[13:46.51]but in a rock song it can be both good and bad at the same time.
[13:52.68]Pop music makes people feel easy and forget about the real world;
[13:58.32]rock music makes people think about the world and how to make their life better.
