Music and Me

 


Hello everybody! I am Victor and I play soccer here at Converse University. I'm majoring in Accounting, and I want to become an accountant after graduating from Converse. I was born in the US (Atlanta, Georgia) but when I was 3 years old I moved to Mexico with my parents. I had most of my life living in Mexico and just two years ago I came back to the US but my parents stay in Mexico. I attended to Dorman High School here in South Carolina which means I am a commuter student. 

The music has been part of my whole life as a listener. Since I was little I heard a lot of songs with my dad and his favorite groups. Now I have my own favorite groups, and I just listen to music in Spanish. Here I am going to show some of those songs that I like right now, mean something to me, and it doesn't work for me.

Here is a picture of me and my family. My Dad is behind, my Mom in front of me, and my brother next to my mom.



1-Music that I like right now.

Right now this is one of the songs that I like. It is a Spanish one and talks about love. I don't have a girlfriend but I still like this song. The sound goes slow and you feel that rhythm. This song came up in 2022 but whenever I listen it makes me want to sing it. I love the way the lyrics describe true love to someone. Describing some moments and how that makes you feel in love with a person.





2-Music that means something to me.

The music means a lot for me because you can express your feelings. I remember a lot of songs when I was a kid. This genre is called "Banda or Regional Mexicano". I used to listen to it with my dad. Some of this songs are pretty good. Every time I listen to some of these songs I remember when I was a kid. The next song is one that I remember a lot, and it makes me going back to those days and feel pretty happy.




3-Music that doesn't work for me.

This music doesn't work for me anymore. When I was a little kid it was a great song and I used to enjoy and maybe dance while it was playing on the TV. This song probably no one listens to anymore because the show is a little bit old. I know most of the people here saw this show called "Barney and friends". It's a lot of songs in this program but this song is one that just works probably for kids when they are playing outside or in the house.

    Hi, Victor! I really enjoyed going through your blog! The song that was most interesting to me was "Calibre 50 - A La Antigüita." As I listened to it, I imagined a little boy with his dad and I think that is so sweet and wholesome. The song that I liked best was the first one! I am literally going to add it to my playlist right now! Thank you for sharing!!

    Wassup Victor, I really liked reading and listening to the things on your blog! I found the song "Calibre 50 - A La Antigüita" the most interesting, as I had never heard it before, and it brings me back to older Mexican music I have listened to. I found the song "Labios De Cereza" as my favorite because it is something that I see myself listening to. I like how the songs you chose have a more chill and meaningful touch to them, which is more in line with my style.

 The Music is always part in our lives. You can listen some music and make a great memory from that moment. For me there is a lot of different moment that I have been related with a song so every time a listen that song I remember that song. There is two song that I'm going to talk about it and one it's called "La Bachata" by Manuel Turizo, and the other one it's called "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran. These two songs were part of great moments in my life that I never will forget. Each time a heard the songs, it's make me be happy and nostalgic. The first song "La Bachata" is a song that was playing in my cousin's XV, and I was one of the dancers of that party. Each time I heard the song it remind me that party and how much I enjoyed it. That was my first time and the only one me as a dancers for a  quinceañeras. Also remind me each practice because I was in Mexico at that time. Whenever they practice here in USA I was doing FaceTime on my TV i...

Music & Us: Our New Playlist

For this final blog, I wanted to explore music from four different cultures across the world, choosing a mix of traditional and modern songs. I picked  Morocco, Colombia, New Zealand, and Argentina  to show how music can reflect both history and contemporary life. Some of the songs are deeply traditional, like Gnawa from Morocco and the Māori haka from New Zealand, while others, like Colombian Cumbia/Champeta and modern Latin music from Argentina, show how cultures adapt their musical roots for today’s global audience. Listening to these songs reminded me how music connects people across continents and generations. 1-Morocco – Gnawa Music (Traditional, Africa) “Baba Mimoun”  – Mahmoud Guinia I started with a traditional Gnawa song called  “Baba Mimoun”  by Mahmoud Guinia. Gnawa music blends West African spiritual rhythms with North African Islamic culture, and it has a trance like feeling that’s really calming. The deep guembri bass lines and the sharp metal sou...
