Previously I had written an article on Christian Music, to summarize; there I referred to this kind of music as an expression of religion and culture, also I commented some details of its presence in Latin America and Venezuela.
I confensar I keep hearing this kind of music ranging from the Ballad, Pop, through the Vallenato and Ranchera, but had not had the need to write anything about it until today coming to the office was on the subway, and as usual, there is always someone that is mounted on the carriages to preach God's word is worth mentioning that out loud, but what caught my attention was something the boy said.
He said that everything that is said with the language is written, and so it is with music. When sung talking and all that we sing is like an affirmation.
And it is necessary to develop an understanding of the letters. He gave the example of lovers who are dedicated songs and how there are songs that refer to tromentosas relations.
He was questioned on how it is possible that the love songs so engaged.
And personally, you're right, because most folk songs are not paying attention to the lyrics, and often without realizing it, these reflect our lifestyle.
But it is true, what is sung is spoken and also think and act that way.
It is for this reason that the Christian escuha that kind of music, like Rockero and reggaeton. The music reflects not only a song but our lifestyle, and much of what we are to the world.
