Globalized jazz.. Some good mixes.

Well, after listening the sub-genres of Jazz in the website I can say that I found some interesting on them. The thing is that there are two sub-genres that are similar but one of them liked me but the other one not. I’m talking about Latin jazz and World fusion.

The first one, Latin one, kept my attention because that sound was very pleasant for me to listen. Other thing that kept my attention was the rhythm with which it was combined. I heard “salsa” or “son cubano” as a fusion with jazz. First of all, I think that those genres are interesting or useful to make a fusion of musical genres. I can’t imagine one fusion between jazz and “vallenato” or something like that. I think that result of music is really fun and sweet. Also, I think people who interpret jazz see Latin people and think in some Caribbean landscape such as beaches, sun, coconuts, wind and other things like that. And maybe the musicians who invented that fusion imagine Latin people like dancing with this music in the way they do, or maybe they imagine that fusion as the perfect music to play in a vacation moment in the beach.

But in the other hand, the World fusion is not interesting for me. One of the songs I heard was like an Indian music fusion with jazz. I mean I’m not saying that sounds awful but not pleasant, I think in this case that Indian music was very remarkable instead of jazz. I think the others genres in the world maybe are noted more than the jazz. Also we can think immediately in India but we are not going to pay attention to the back of the song, in this case the instruments which belong to jazz music. So the intentions of fusion those genres aren’t going to be noted or the intention was not clear enough. 

In spite of these different fusions I think that it’s very acceptable and it’s good because it’s fun to make new things and much if it is about music. We are in a globalized world and of course we must know that those things must happen because of the culture mix of the different parts of the world. But maybe the people who invented that fusion just did it because he or she thought it sounds very well and nice to the ear.
