Musics of the World Week # 6 part 2

Title- Unknown

Performers- Kenyan Children Singing and Dancing.

Origin- Kenya

Orchestration- Vocals and drum beat on a bucket.



Here is an example of children of Kenya performing together

in  song and dance. As you can see in the video the adults led the

songs and the children follows in song and dance. What I like about this

video example is the fact that both the children as well as the adults are

actively involved in the performance. I feel that having the adults or teachers

actively involved in the performance allowed for the students to feel engaged in

the lesson as well as to have fun. Performances like the example seen here can be

great for socialization of children. Personally, I feel that I could definitely incorporate

more lessons that involves active movements and peer interaction among the students

of the class.  Social interactive lessons could also assist with various learning styles of

students because we all know that people have different learning styles.

Musics of the World Week # 6

Title- Eu Sambo Mesmo

Performers- Jazz Bliss Brazil

Culture- Brazilian

Orchestration- Saxophone,  guitars, drums/percussion, and vocals.



This week I chose to take a look at music of Brazil. Brazil is filled with culture

and various types of music styles and genres. Generally when some people think

of music in Brazil; they may think of samba music or bossa nova style music. Rarely

do people consider jazz music to be a part of Brazilian culture. What is so significant

in this video example to me is the performers provided a recipe for Brazilian music with

a side dish of jazz. For example, the performing group included a mixture of samba and

bossa nova along with an overall jazz feel. I feel that a performance such as this could

definitely contribute to socialization. The socialization of this performance demonstrates the role

play of the performers musically providing the audience with jazz music while maintaining the

traditional musical tradition of Brazil.
