The Music Scene

Bolero reaches Puerto Rico Music Scene Generally, when you discuss about Puerto Rico’s music, some of the first things that occur to your mind include dynamic and a diversity of cultural resources. In addition to the original Puerto Rico music, nowadays, the musical scene of this country is also influenced by genres coming from other cultures, as well. One of these genres is bolero, which originates from Cuba. Having its origins in Cuba, bolero has quickly reached the souls of Puerto Ricans, so that by the 1920s-1930s, this music was not only enjoyed by people living on the island, but it was also composed and performed by singers from the country. Although there are not many differences between the bolero music originating from Cuba and the one composed in Puerto Rico, some do still exist, and these refer mainly…

At the movie theaters, the most intense scene is playing, as the villain seems to have won and the girl is dying. The theater is in tears, on the edge of their seats. Will the girl live? Will the villain get away with it? Now take away the music. Most people find that the scene has lost most of the emotion, and interest in what will happen next fades. The eyes of the people are far from welling up with tears. Why is this so? Music is a huge part of expressing the emotions of the movie to the…

The Eau Claire music scene has a growing amount of talented, up-and-coming artists. There is a now a new way that local music artists are being featured. Through a collaboration between two groups on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, TV-10 and Blugold Radio, a new program called Sounds of the Valley has been created to highlight local artists. Eli Klatt, a student at UW-Eau Claire, first joined TV-10 as a freshman, but was forced to make a choice between putting his time…

And that’s not to say that I don’t love or “embrace” my cultural background but it 's more that America doesn’t let me embrace it. For example, most white critics voice that Yuna should embrace her hijab and let her music speak from a place of experience rather from her ethnic ipseity emanating from her aesthetic. That being said, the world continues to implicitly compartmentalize her music and her “look” into the same box as if they have a kind of correlation with each another. That’s why our…

and Algernon. The women never looked at their personality, character, work ethic, etc. The last theme that I could distinguish would be that love always wins. At the end of the play John and Algernon are able to marry the women that they truly love. Even though Algernon’s name wasn’t really “Earnest” Gwendolen still forgave him. The Scenic Design helped me understand the time period the play was taking place. The way the room was decorated helped me conclude John and Algernon’s were somewhat…

semi-chronological story lines, memories in the story and movie alike give solid glimpses of the past that allow the plot to move forward. One of the most prominent memories, in both the story and the movie, and certainly the clearest of the latter, is the section in which Grant and Fiona go on a walk/ski in a park. The substantial differences between the scene and the passage, range from difference in dialogue to difference in visuals. This section is an excellent example of the drastic…

The characters in the play Othello by Shakespeare depict different attributes from revenge to love. The behavior of Lago is the subject of analysis of the essay. Lago’s attitude towards women and Othello is appalling. He feels an obligation to serve Othello while also accusing him for having an affair with his wife. In Act one, scene three, Lago believes that Othello has slept with his wife. He states; “it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets/ he has done my office” (1.iii.286). Lago is the…

the same genre where the protagonist is not always the victor, especially when it comes to film scenes that involve racing. I chose the title, “It is not Worth Giving Up When it Comes to Racing,” because in these movie scenes the protagonist does not win a particular car race. After losing the race they realize that it is not over. They realize that one loss is just the beginning to a great new start in their lives. The film scenes being compared have to follow certain rules. The…

While the cast moved the scenery in between each scene it was very obvious. The movements were choppy and inefficient. As well as not looking good, there was also unfitting music playing. There was Christmas music that played every transition and the audio quality was very low. The music was fuzzy and muffled. The transitions were a huge distraction and made it hard to enjoy the show. Although there are many things to be worked on in this production, there are also a lot of positives. One of…
