The melody of music


Hello again readers!

I think that I'm not the only one who likes listening to music, am I wrong?

Everybody likes listening to music, but everyone doesn't have the same tastes, there are many different genres for many different people and here they will appear some of them. Personally I prefer Ska, Reggae or Rock styles, so the first mentions will be about those.



Ska
Ska is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s, and was the
precursor to rocksteady and reggae. Ska combines elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. In the early 1960s, ska was the dominant music genre of Jamaica and was popular with British mods. In my opinion, one of the best bands are: SKA-P, Vendetta...
Here you have a song by Vendetta:




Reggae:

In the genre of Reggae we have a God, a man who sings as well as the angels. His songs have the power to move thousands of people. Obviously I'm talking about Bob Marley. Bob Marley (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer-songwriter who achieved international fame through a series of crossover reggae albums. Starting out in 1963 with the group the Wailers, he forged a distinctive songwriting and vocal style that would later resonate with audiences worldwide. The Wailers would go on to release some of the earliest reggae records with producer Lee Scratch Perry After the Wailers disbanded in 1974, Marley pursued a solo career which culminated in the release of the album Exodus in 1977 which established his worldwide reputation. He was a committed Rastafarian who infused his music with a profound sense of spirituality.

Rock&Roll

The legend of the Rock&Roll is considered Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977). This man was an American singer, musician and actor. One of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as "the King of Rock and Roll", or simply, "the King". If you want more information about him, click here. But personally, I prefer the Punk-Rock band ''Green Day''.
As I have said above, Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, drummer Tré Cool and guitarist and backing vocalist Jason White, who became a full member after playing in the band as a session and touring guitarist for 13 years.
