Week 5 : Mambo Italiano - Rosemary Clooney


This week I decided to choose Mambo Italiano by Rosemary Clooney. It's one of my favorite music since the beginning of this semester, it's a music that we listen to in France and that we use at parties, weddings... it's a classic for us, it's the same in the US. (I think so) 

For me, it's a music that you can listen to every day without getting tired of it. It makes us want to move and motivates us! I think it's a good music to listen to in the morning to wake up. 

Rosemary's voice goes very well with the music. The instruments used go well with rosemary's voice. It's a living music. You can feel by the tone of voice that it's a rather humorous music. My favorite part of this music is when she says Mambo Italiano in the chorus. She has a pretty strong voice. It is quite the style of music of the time that I listen to alone to have fun, to dance. The instrumental of this music is good, with the percussion in the chorus. It's definitely a music that I advise you to listen to!

    That's really cool to hear that you listen to this song in France. I personally have never heard this song before this class, but I'm sure this song is very popular in the states too. I agree with how you said your favorite part of the song is when she says Mambo Italiano. This part is amazing and sounds really great.

    We don’t talk much about the international popularity of American music in class, so I think that’s so cool that you recognized this song from it’s popularity in France. I love how you talked about the relationship between Rosemary and the music, and how they work great together. It makes sense why this song is internationally popular.

    This was such a good song to choose! At first, just reading the title I didn't know what song this was. Right when it started I just started moving with the music. This is a very lively song that I feel like makes the listener move to. I also do really like Rosemary's voice. It goes so perfect with the music. I also think that it's very cool that this is a popular song where you're from too! I'll definitely be adding this to my playlist.

    I absolutely loved this song. When I read the title I thought that I had never heard it before but then when I played it, it hit me like a wall that I had heard this song a few times before. This song was so I couldn't help but be happy and dance around when I put it on.

La Negra by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan #1

For my first blog, I decided to write about La Negra by Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan. This song is very surprising and I like Mexican musics. When you listen to it, you feel happy and you just want to dance. You can hear the happiness of the band because of the shouts.   This music surprises me because of the instruments who are using and all the shouts during the instrumental. The instruments break the rule of traditional musics, there are trumpets, guitars... Everybody can listening to this type of music.  My favorite part of this music is the part where they're not singing (the instrumental), I really like to just listen to the trumpets and guitars, it's really entertaining.  You can really feel the Mexican culture in this song. You just want to listening to more Mexican musics. This shows you the identity of Mexico. Just in listening to this music, you can see the mariachis with there’s hats. Mariachis are part of the Mexican culture.   Get out of your comfort zone and lis

Week 8 : Be My Baby by the Ronettes

Today, I decided to choose as music for my blog post : Be My Baby performed by the Ronettes. This is the song that I really appreciate. I listen to it in France. It's a popular song because it's played in the film Dirty Dancing. I like this movie  because there is dancing, a complicated love story... It's a rather romantic music, with a good rhythm. We feel sensuality in this music, I like it very much! This music makes you want to dance with the person you love until the end of the night. We feel the love in this music, the passion of the first love. I think that everybody can listen to this music even if it's a love song. This does not necessarily please everyone.  It's the kind of music lover that I could listen all day long in loop without getting tired of it. I advise everyone to listen to this music even if it is not your style. I think everyone can understand the message of love behind this music.

Week 12 : Infinity by Jaymes Young

 For my last blog, I decided to talk about my favorite song for the moment : Infinity by Jaymes Young. I rediscovered this music on Tik Tok. It's a love song and I'm the kind of person who really likes love songs. I'm obsessed with them. I think I'm a romantic person, this explains why I like it so much.  When you listen to it, you can feel the love he feels for a person. I like this music very much, I find myself in the lyrics since I am currently happy in a relationship. The lyrics are poignant and express well what one can feel when one is in a relationship. I really like the instrumental which is quite calm and suddenly the instrumental becomes more punchy.  If you want to listen to more love songs, here are some of my favorites : Je te laisserai des mots-Patrick Watson.  Another Love-Tom Odell. The night we met-Lord Huron. Moral of the story-Ashe.
