http://www.worldmusic.net/news/news/2012-09-12/celebrating-bollywoods-centenary/ This articule is about celebrating Bollywood. Bollywood is an indian dance/type of movie/music. The articule was telling you about the history of Bollywood. Bollywood has been around for many years. When I saw the dance it made me think of an indian's take on modern dance. I asked my dad about bollywood, and he said "It is a random plot where people just break out in dance for any reason. For example, a person might say they are sick, and the mother says they'll get them medicine, suddely 100's of people start dancing and singing the sick will get better!" Klara

the music I listened to was from africa. in the song two men play the djembe drum. this was filmed in mali.there was no singing. the people who played were very old. the speed sped up than slowed down. they stop and go again they played the same notes all through out the song. it looked like they were playing for someone. **Max∫**

[] This article is about a man named Vieux Farka Toure who is a guitarist who played at the Annenberg Center’s Prince Theatre. He is from Mali, Africa and the article says how he stayed to Mali music even though people had thought he used music from other places as well as Mali. It talks about how he only needed a few instrument players, but at some points their first couple of songs were a little jumbled up. The article also says how Toure doesn’t have a beautiful voice, but it has feeling and meaning. Toure played the electric and acoustic guitar and the article said he was very good at it. Lastly it talks about how the band played a song that wasn’t their normal of putting different beats together but that flowed together. The article said some of the band members started to dance. I think this is important because even if someone doesn’t have a great voice it doesn’t mean that they can’t perform somewhere big, and it doesn’t mean that people won’t be touched by their music. -Hailey D.

The song I found was with a Chinese rapper. Some parts I found to be quite irrelevant and odd. But I guess that would be expected. Most Americans don't understand Chinese culture very well, and probably likewise. I thought it was important for mainly my last statement. If this is how some people feel they need to express themselves, then we have no right to stand in their way.
