How are you?


I uploaded my seventh music broadcast on “Spoon Radio.” I am presenting music in the order of the lectures I conducted at the “ACJ Music Academy,” which introduced various genres of music that I previously taught.


The theme of this week's seventh broadcast is “African music”, fused with various popular music genres such as Afro-fusion, Afrobeat, Afropop, Afro-jazz, and Afro-Cuban, among the world music genres. It can also be found in the music of globally renowned musicians, such as Sting, Tracy Chapman, Paul Simon, Santana, Toto, and Ry Cooder of Buena Vista Social Club. 


In this broadcast, I introduced pop music that are familiar to us, tracing its roots back to original African music, the characteristics of African music by region, and the musical characteristics of each country, along with the representative musicians for each country.

The theme of this week’s 6th broadcast is “Flamenco,” a national art that blends traditional folk songs, local dances, and guitar accompaniments from the Andalusian region in southern Spain.

Spoon Radio’s 5th Music Broadcast, “Portuguese Fado”


How are you?

 

I uploaded my 5th music broadcast in “Spoon Radio.” I am broadcasting music in the order of the lectures I conducted at the “ACJ Music Academy,” which introduced various genres of music that I previously taught.

 

The theme of this week’s 5th broadcast is “Portuguese Fado”, a song that embodies “saudade,” a typical Portuguese nostalgia similar to the “han” of Korea or the blues” of Black people, such as the longing songs sung by men who left their hometowns for the sea and the sorrow of women who sent their loved ones away to the ocean.

 

In this broadcast, I introduce Portugal, the background of fado; the definition and components of fado; the types of fado; and notable fado singers and their songs, including Amalia Rodrigues, known as the “Queen of fado.”
