Last week we watched a video about music from different cultures. I found this video really cool, I'm very interested in music from other cultures. The way it sounds is what draws my interest the most, it's just so different from how our music here sounds. Music from India and Asia are my favorite kinds of music from other clutures. I also really like the instruments they use, it's facinating to me because you can't get that sound from any other instrument. What I think about most in relation to music from other cultures, is how easy it is to say, that music is from India, or that music is Russian. It just sounds like how you would imagine music to sound from that culture. I've always thought that was interesting, how there is no mistaking the origin of the music. Even in American culture, music that comes out of the U.S. is very distinctely U.S. I think music is definitely a way for someone to connect with a culture, especially one they've never been to. Music can tell us a lot about the place it comes from, music is it's own language.
