«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato


He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not.  I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough  is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...

I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway,  i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...

And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius  Bob Dylan Dylan...

Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...

I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...

Jazz is no more only black as in 1930, no more American as in 1960 it is universal music phenomenon

Besides the fact that holding forth on which culture belongs to whom is kind of a hazardous pastime nowadays, it is also misleading.

Take the blues. It was Black folks who graced the world with it; that’s not really open for debate. Neither is the fact that, way back in the hallowed (in this thread at least) 60s and 70s, numerous bands made up of white, skinny, vocational-school dropout British kids with bad teeth appropriated it and "adapted" it into something deemed acceptable by white suburban teenagers and their parents, and became filthy rich doing it.

Is it to say that, just because it was dragged away from its roots, the blues is no longer black music like it was back in the 50s? Has its being appropriated, plundered and exploited by white folks and white record companies somehow whitewashed it into a global musical genre? Sorry I don’t follow

One of my favorite music genre is Yoruba talking drums and Indian tabla, i love rythms but it will never go around the earth as jazz did ...

 

I beg to differ. I’ve actually seen a Yoruba ceremony in Salvador Da Bahia, Brazil chanted/sung in Yoruba. Not only has Yoruba made its way to Brasil but even as far away as the US. In Brazil the Yoruba religion is called Candomblé, in their native Portuguese.

And even in the US the practice of Voodoo or ’Vodou/Voudoun’ was practiced by Haitian immigrants in New Orleans, LA. Not to be confused with the silly ’TV’ Voodoo stuff.

The music played in Brazilian Yoruba ceremonies is the basis for what we know of today as ’Samba’. IMHO of course.
