Trends

Music trends
Nowadays, we see people walking and they are present everywhere. Each of them has a totally different choice or preferences with regard to tastes in music, clothes, technology, among others. We live in an age that frequently evolves, trying to create an image of a human being almost perfect, and we live in a changing world that tries to immerse deeply to humans in fashion in order to generate sales of each item of the moment, with the use of advertising and marketing techniques.
Moreover, the subject under discussion here is how the music was born? The first music was born in the first city of humanity, Eridu in the ancient Sumeria or Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq.
It was people from this region (Sumeria) who wrote in clay boards the first musical notes and lyrics. According to an article in the newspaper ˝La Nacion˝ this event occurred approximately 6,800 years ago. Since that moment on, music has gradually evolved with a variety of different genres.

Music is first and foremost an art, combining the sounds and silence in accordance with the principles of melody, harmony and rhythm, and these are essential elements. At the same time, it is a science and not all people are able to work as musicians or use it as a profession. Sometimes I think it is an innate quality, but after talking with one of my coworkers who is a music teacher I realized that it is not correct. He told me that no matter if the person belongs to a family of musicians or not, due to the fact that you can learn it and it is a process that everybody can create and develop with discipline.

Today we have a wide variety of musical genres such as Acid, Agropop, Candombia, Dance, R & B, Hip-Hop, Electronic Music, Ragtime, Underground, tango, romantic, salsa, rancheras, cumbia and many other genders. Musical trends are closely related to the location of either country or people. For example, in Limon, Costa Rica it is customary to hear reggaeton, while in other geographically and San Carlos people tend to listen to meringue and salsa.

The biggest problem that involves dividing the music into categories is that each artist has his own history, its own style and own way of doing things. One of the disadvantages in grouping music by genre is that it is a subjective process that is heavily influenced by personal knowledge and how each feel and hear the music. Finally everyone is free of his tendency to choose the right kind or genre of music. Music is the soul as how the gymnastics is for the body.
