Music of the United States

With the great mixture of native cultures, European and
African, the United States was filled with a great variety
of musical genres, and these reverberated in much
of the world, thus forming American popular music.
It begins with small writers, continuing with
performances in plays, as in the creation of Broadway.
This would be where the musical style of the country was
popularized, because people of middle and upper class
from different places care for themselves.

One of the earliest African American genres was ragtime, a style of music for
dancing, which was based on the piano, probably when attempting to copy the
rhythm of the American banjo. Others like this, were the Blues, originating from the
African American population of the south of the
country. Jazz, one of the most representative genres.
Over time the Blues diversified, creating new
subgenres, these include the fast and energetic
style called rhythm blues, the fusion of blues and
Anglo-Celtic music called ccountry, as well as the
fusion of anthems and spirituals with blues
structures called, reaching a fusion of blues, R &B
and country eventually called rock and roll, it developed eventually coming to
dominate American popular culture. Unlike previous genres, rock and roll was
more successful being performed by blab n cos singers.
With the crescents political and social changes, rock diversified, giving rise to
variations such as heavy metal, punk rock and hip hop. In addition, there was a
great invasion of British bands, which tookthe style of rock further.
With the social growth became present alternative
rock, which had its bases in punk rock, because they
also sought against opposing the styles of the time,
seeking to innovate in the production of music,
although their success would come sometime later,
and found competition with the nascent genres of pop
and electronic music, which mostly represent
American culture.

America in the face of a pandemic.

The first case of covid-19 in U.S. was recorded on January 21, 2020, from that
time, it was known that there would be major repercussions. The best economists
already predicted that U.S. output would halve in just half of 2020.
Health expenditures from the pandemic were estimated at $34 billion to $251
billion.
To minimize the spread of the infection,
measures were implemented to isolate
infected patients, impose quarantines,
including the closure of schools, retail
stores, workplaces, sporting events and
leisure activities such as restaurants and
cinemas. And not only these places would be affected, large social events had to
be canceled due to sanitary measures, concerts, festivals, meetings, all would face
the recent illness, and they would have no choice but tosuspend their plans. Some
of the shops decided to increase the sanitary standards, because it did not suit
them to close temporarily, in this way, the supermarkets had to spend time
disinfecting and cleaning their areas frequently, the cinemas reduced their capacity
to more than half, and with this fact, the producers of Hollywood stopped the
recordings and premieres of films, causing millions in losses at the box office.
Research to find a possible vaccine quickly began, with national pharmaceutical
companies devoting their resources to medical research, including millionaire Bill
Gates.
After intense tests, the United States already has three versions of vaccines,
Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and Moderna, and is currently distributed among the
population, primarily in the elderly as they are the most vulnerable.

The American flag

Afterthe victory against the British army, the people of the 1 3colonies needed a
way to identify themselves, for this, in 1777 the congress approved the first
American flag and proclaimed it with the following text:
"It is resolved that the flag of the U.S. will be 13 alternating red and white stripes,
that the union will be reflected by 13 white
stars in a blue field, representing a new
constellation"
The reason for the use of colors is because
red symbolizes courage and strength; blue,
surveillance and justice; and white
innocence and purity.
 And given the expansionism, the flag
was modified, adding a star for each
annexed state, reaching more than 26
modifications. Currently the number of
stars has increased to 50, its last
modification was in 1960, with the entry
of Hawaii, remaining intact to this day.

Major cities
Due to the great economic development, countless cities have been built
throughout the country, many are large commercial complexes, and contribute
strongly to the national economy. But let’s see which are the most recognized.
Let's start with the one that is probably the
most famous, and how not be?, The New
York City, was founded the year of 1624,
andis located on the EastCoast , in the
state ofNew York, currently has a
population of more than 8 million
inhabitants, is distributed in 5 boroughs,
Manhattan , Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island. Of the 5 boroughs,
the one with the most inhabitants is Brooklyn and the least populous is Staten
Island. Queens is the largest area. Manhattan is the largest concentration of
tourism, economic and financialactivity. It is also known as the city that never
sleeps, it is a center of culture and attraction; it houses many museums on art,
photography, architecture, technology, natural history, television and radio, the
main ones being the Metropolitan Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, the
Museum of Modern Art, among others.

Another major megacities are Los Angeles,

located in the state of California, was founded
on September 4, 1781,and is home to
nearly 4 million inhabitants. Like NY, the city makes up 5 counties, Riverside,
Ventura, Orange and San Bernardino.
This city stands out in tourism, because next to the state of California, it is the
largest entertainment product, in addition having the largest collection of museums
and theaters. Another key sector of the city, is the fashion industry, some of the
most important sites for shopping include Rodeo Drive, the Fashion District in
downtown L.A., The Grove, Center, Hollywood & Highland.

And how to forget about the capital of the country? Washington DC is the capital
city of the entire United States,it must be differentiated from Washington,which is a
state of the United States of America with
Olympia as its capital,the Capital City is
not part of any state. The city was
founded on July 16, 1790 as the District of
Columbia when George Washington was
president of the country, later it would be
given the name of the head of state in his
honor. It is located between the districts of Maryland and Virginia and surrounded
by the Potomac River.
Unlike the cities, Washington DC has a great historical importance, because it
witnessed different conflicts, and was the cradle of economic growth after the great
depression, because from that moment it would be the preferred place of the most
important companies to establish themselves.
Another relevant aspect is the large
number of monuments it has, some of
the most famous are the Washington
Monument and the Lincoln Memorial,
and of course, it is the place where the
blanc a house is located, the official
residence and main work center of the President of the United States.
A hard blow for the United States
For the population of Louisianan, the morning of August 29, 2005, do not would be
a joyful awakening, because at 6 with 10 minutes, one of the worst natural events
had touched the territory of the state. A terrible hurricane named Katrina, had hit
the east coast of the country, devastating the neighboring states to Florida.
Despite security measures put in place before
the storm, Katrina killed approximately 1,800
people, although the exact number is said to
never be known. Katrina caused estimated $170
billionin loss, making it the most destructive
hurricane in the nation's history.
The hurricane formed from a humid, warm air
system along an area of low pressure, which joined with the remnants of a tropical
storm. During its journey through the Gulf of
Mexico, Katrina became a Category
5hurricane, the maximum on the intensity
scale, with winds of more than 280 km/h,
however, upon landfall, it fell to Category 3; it
reached winds of 200 km/h. Katrina, in
addition, was twice the size of an average Atlantic hurricane.
The causes of this powerful hurricane were 3 essentials, the temperature of the
ocean surface, which was much warmer than normal in most of the tropical
Atlantic, then the humidity level was much higher, and finally the vertical wind
shear was weak, which helped make the hurricane more stable and intense.
