Cultural Background:
What events, situations, or ways of life of people contribute to the development of
popular music ?

Music is one of the most universal ways of expression in human life. Music is present in
the everyday lives of people of all ages and from all cultures around the world. Music
represents an enjoyable activity in and of itself, but its influence goes beyond simple
amusement. Listening to music, singing, playing, composing, and improvising are very
 common activities for many people: they not only allow one to express personal inner
states and feelings, but also brings many positive effects to people engaged in them.
Many benefits of musical activity have been recognized in recent times: research in
music sciences has identified several dimensions of human life (cognitive, psychological,
social, and emotional) which seem to be positively affected by music.

The impact that musical activity has on human life can be found in different processes.
One of them is represented by the transfer of learning from the musical to other cognitive
domains. The transfer of learning implies that skills acquired in a specific cognitive
domain can be transferred and also used in other domains of human activity. Abilities
that have been developed through musical training may also be effectively used in other
cognitive tasks.

Considering the social component of musical activity, music may also have an impact on
social skills and social inclusion, supporting the participation of the individual in
collective and collaborative musical events. The promotion of social participation
through music can foster many kinds of inclusion, in a wide perspective including
intercultural, intergenerational, and disability issues.

4. Rubric for scoring

Describe the historical and cultural background of afro-latin American music.

History of Afro-Latin American Music

- South and Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean Islands make up Latin America.
It has a diverse culture that includes European, Mexican, Moorish, and African tribes. It
is home to a variety of religions and languages, including Spanish and Portuguese.

- The origins of Afro-Latin American music can be traced back to European colonization
and the slave trade in Africa. The rich and varied rhythms produced by drums and various
percussion instruments adapted from elements of Moorish, African, and Caribbean music
in the slave trade from 1550 to 1880 can be identified as their music.

- Drums were prohibited from being played by enslaved Moors in North America in
1776. Slave Caribbeans in New Orleans were free to use their drums for entertainment,
recreation, and communication. Because they play traditional Moorish and African
rhythms, these drums were dubbed "talking drums" because they convey messages of
history, joy, and struggle.

Cultural background of Afro-latin American Music

- Dance and musical practice provided opportunities for indigenous cultural maintenance
and reinvention within the context of colonialism. Europeans brought musical
instruments that were adapted to use in new contexts: these included stringed
instruments, such as the guitar, violin, and harp; wind instruments such as flutes and
chirimías; and the organ.

- The music and liturgy of the mass, devotional songs, liturgical theater, and secular song
and dance all gained important places in colonial culture throughout American colonies.
Africans, enslaved and free, brought new rhythms, dances, songs, and musical practices
with them to the Americas as well, creating unique syncretic blends of song, dance, and
performance. In the 19th century, art music was composed and performed in the urban
centers of Latin America, and music was incorporated into newly independent states as
part of efforts to define national identity.

- Modern music in Latin America continues to reflect the diversity of the history and
population of the region. Ethnic groups define themselves through music and dance.
Religious music remains an important part of ritual celebrations, particularly processions
and festivals of the Catholic Church. Secular song and dance genres, from son, to salsa,
merengue, rumba, and samba gained popularity not only in Latin America but also in the
United States and worldwide in the second half of the 20th century
