Let’s talk about kinds of musics. Musical genres are classified based on many factors, such as rhythm and tempo, scales and scales used, instruments used, place of origin, and background philosophy. They are first classified into broad categories, such as popular music and art music, or religious music and secular music, and then the categories are subdivided from there. With over 1,000 different music genres in existence, it can be said that each genre influences each other and continues to evolve in a diverse way even today! There are many types of music available, including classical, gospel, jazz, rock, and hip-hop.So l will introduce about gospel,jazz,and hip-hop. First one is gospel.It is a genre of music that originated in the United States. It’s originally Christian Protestant religious music.It is said that African Americans, who were taken into slavery and deprived of their language and religion in the 17th century, encountered the Christian Protestant gospel, and the unique rhythms of African music and the poetic sensibility of European hymns were fused together to create this music. Second one is jazz. Jazz is a genre that originated in the early 1900s among African Americans in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. It combines the rhythms of African-Americans with the harmonies of Western music, and adds elements of swing, blue notes, and improvisation. Third one is hip-hop. Hip-hop is a musical genre that developed out of a party culture called “block parties” held by Afro-Americans and Hispanics in the Bronx boroughs of New York City in the 1970s. It is characterized by a style in which a DJ plays a sampled soundtrack of existing music or a beat-up backing track, and an MC raps over it. These various genres of music have their own unique qualities, such as tempo. Our lives are enriched by a wide variety of music!
