JAZZ MUSIC INFLUENCED OUR WORLD
I chose to talk about jazz because it is not a subject often discussed and it is important to know the influence it has had on our world.
Throughout the 1920s, jazz music evolved into an integral part of American popular culture. It’s a music that has developed in the United States and is still very popular today. The "primitive" jazz sound that had originated in New Orleans diversified, and thus appealed to people from every echelon of society.
The
effects of jazz music on society have had an impact on different aspects of
popular culture, for instance in the literary world, illustrated through the
genesis of the genre of jazz poetry. Indeed, poetry and music
are among the most compelling and beautiful forms of art. these two forms
merged, and the genre of jazz poetry was created. The Harlem Renaissance and
the influence of African American writers and intellectuals substantiated the
intellectual and spiritual appeal of jazz music.
Then
fashion in the 1920s, was another way in which jazz influenced popular culture.
Furthermore, the women's liberation movement was strengthened by jazz as it helped to rebel
against the established norms of society, and jazz music provided the motivation
and opportunity for many women to reach beyond the traditional sex role
designated to them by society.
As a conclusion, to my point
of view jazz music is a representation of global culture because the status of
African Americans was elevated, due to the popularity of this distinctly
African American music. For the first time in American history, what was
previously considered "bottom culture" rose to the top and became a
highly desired commodity in society.
I ask you the question : do you really know all the influences that jazz has had in our world?
In order to answer of your question, I don’t really know all influences of jazz on our society. Your subject questioned me because I love jazz but I didn’t interested me of the story of this music and its evolution. Jazz music comes from Unites States and it’s an inheritance of African American culture. From 1920 to the present day jazz music has continued to evolved and become famous all around the world. The jazz culture is required as a full style in the music world; for example, in several cities exists jazz bar with artists and dancers. I like very much jazz music because its calm to work and relax. Many jazz performers are well-known in the world like Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis or Ella Fitzgerald.
ReplyDeleteMoreover, I find link between jazz and fashion interesting. Jazz as it helped to rebel against norms of society, and jazz music provided the motivation and opportunity for many women to reach beyond the traditional sex role designated to them by society. Fashion has evolved in society and the world in the same way as jazz. Thank you for all information about jazz and its story and impact on our world.
