Music and ritual

    Music will always have a significant impact on different things like weddings. People will play different types of songs for the people getting married because it’s their day. Then you have funeral music where it’s a sad moment that one of your friend or family members had died unexpectedly, so people will try and play music lightens the e mood. Then you would have music that you can chill in your room and vibe to. Lastly, you have Christmas music, Christmas music is one of the best songs to have for a ritual with your family or friends. For example, this event is called Charlie Brown's play "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Personally, my favorite music that I think is good for a morning ritual routine to listen to is African music like Burna Boy and Tems. I believe those African artists can be a great ritual morning routine because their music gives off good energy and chill vibes.

    


    This song by Burna boy is a great song and this song gives off party music and great energy during the day because your body would be up from jumping around and listening to this song. Especially on a Friday, you would have even more energy because Fridays lead to the weekends and you know you not going to have to work on those 2 days.

    This song by Tems "Free Mind" is a great song and a vibe to a family event. Tems's vibe from this song is a more calm vibe for certain events for the family. For example, you can play her song at cookouts every now and then. Also, You can play it at weddings. So, most of her songs by her or been featured are great songs to listen to while you are by yourself or when you are with your family.

    The song "Free Mind" does have a cool summer vibe to it. I could definitely see family and friends listening to it this summer while hanging out by the pool. These artists do give off good vibes and I got into a good mood while listening to them! I will definitely add to my driving playlist.

    I liked the song Last Last by Burna Boy. It does give off a good vibe to being more energetic, and it seems like it's just a good song to move around and dance to. And I feel the same way about Free Mind with it being a song that you can move around and dance to as well.

Music and Me

      Hi everyone! I am Nigel smith and I'm a student in this class I play basketball here at Converse University.  When I was younger I was in the middle school band for a year and it was fun. I played the trumpet and played the drums. One thing that has my interest in this class is learning how to hear different sounds from music and how it would affect the whole rhythm and also why that producer chose that certain beat.      The city where I was born and raised is called Lawrenceville which is in Georgia. I ended up in Spartanburg through basketball and am really glad that this is where I am. I'm the only child in my family with a lot of cousins. Things that I like to do while I'm not playing basketball are that I play video games, watch youtube, work out, and talk to my friends. While here at Converse, I am going to school to major in business administration which leads to Sports management. the most recent song I had listen to today is by Bre...
