Peruvian Music

The music of Peru is an amalgamation of sounds and styles drawing on Peru's Andean, Spanish and African roots. Andean influences can perhaps be best heard in wind instruments and the shape of the melodies, while the African influences can be heard in the rhythm and percussion instruments, and European influences can be heard in the harmonies and stringed instruments, Pre Colombian Andean music was played on drums and wind instruments, not unlike the European pipe and tabor tradition. Andean tritonic and pentatonic scales were elaborated during the colonial period into hexatonic, and in some cases, diatonic scales.

I've never found about this kind of music but I just listened some of them when I traveled to other cities or when I'm in the bus some people used to sing it. It usually played with guitar and Zampona and Zampona sounds really beautiful.

K-POP

It began in South Korea. As well as music, K-pop has grown into a popular subculture among teenagers and young adults throughout Asia. There is a lot of interest in the fashions and styles of Korean idol groups and singers. It is famous these days. Many adolescents and adults like to listen this kind of musical genre because of the strong performance that they show or because of the singers. It has a strong caracteristic in the fashion I said before they don't wear clothes that we usually wear but they wear unconventional clothes to attract attention.

CCM

CCM is a Contemporary Christian Music and  is a genre of modern popular music which is lyrically focused on matters concerned with the Christian faith. Today, the term is typically used to refer to pop, rock, and praise & worship.They are divided in a soul and saint to do worrship or they have hill songs. Many people can think that CCM is boring because it just takes about the bible or those kind of letters but it doesn't. Actually, CCM can be expressed by all kind of music genre such as pop, rock, etc.. . As a christian a listen many songs of thisusic genre and it's not boring and some songs are better than musician's songs. I think this kind of.music doesn't depend on the musician and everyone can sing and join together but other songs don't so I think that it is one of the caracteristic of this type of song.

The Legend of the Guitar

Jason Becker was a great guitar player who started playing the guitar when he was a five-year-old boy. His interest in playing the guitar and listening different kind of music. Made him a complete, fantastic and creative guitarist .I like so much his music because of his technique and also because of his creativity that makes his music so magic and powerful .He created a lot of songs but most of them aren’t so famous unfortunately. One of my favorite songs is temple of the absurd, which is a complex and difficult song which has lots of arpeggios and Egyptian scales.

I think  he is the real legend of the guitar and he is the best because his techniques are unattainable for others. He is the best guitarist in the world, isn't he? As I said before he created many songs but they aren'y famous I think it is because of the talent, he has increidible talent to play guitar but not in writing a song. He do play very well the guitar and he will be a legend forever

Adele

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988), better known simply as Adele, is an English singer-songwriter, musician and multi-instrumentalist. Adele is the first female in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have three singles in the top 10 at the same time as a lead artist. I like her soul voice that is really beautiful.

My favorite song of her is rolling in the deep. This song shows one of the best soul voice that I ever heard before. She is still young and I think in the future she can make better songs. She is really talented in music as I said before she writes muscis and she can  play many kind of instruments. She is one of the best soul singer.
