The Beatles in Miami in 1964..... (rated, deal, music)

[WINTERFRONT]

Listening to the Beatles makes you a minority? I listen to Anenzephalia and Brighter Death Now, in other words I don't exist.

I was recently at a live Salsa show in Los Angeles....the band did a cover of "And I Love Her"......and the band members were from both the U.S. and Central America.

That reminds me that there is a salsa version of Hey Jude, or maybe a salsa version of a mix or Beatles tunes.

Down there it's nothing but rock (spanish or english), electronica, and musica villera (Rafaga), and some salsa. IDK about Brazil though - but I guess it's not that different.

NOBODY grows up listening to native folklore! You don't thinks kids outside of america grow up listening to an international repertoire!?
That's like saying those of us born here grew up listening to Yankee Doodle and I Wish I Were in Dixie! fine, it's not NATIVE but ..you all know what I mean.

Bluegrass, gospel, western, Appalachian and country, are American folklore; at least to me they are. In South America there are people who still listen to Native American folklore, btw.

Lol @ native folklore, I would call it local music. I woulnt call salsa, vallenato, Reggeton, romantic music, tex-mex or Spanish rock that.

But native folklore to me is Andean music, trova cubana, cumbia cinaguera, Porro, Mexican sones, Samba, Venezuelan llanero, yes some people listen to it and the average person is familiar with it but it's not what they usually hear on the radio unless they are "cultural" it's the kind of music you learn at school, hear as backgroung music in TV programs. Think of it like old Jazz, blues, same thing.

[WINTERFRONT]

There are many genres of Andean music, I calll them folklore.

Spanish rock is not a genre btw.

[♥♥PRINC3Ss♥♥]

Winter chances are that those south Americans familiar with native folklore music are familiar with the Beatles. Same thing in the USA plenty of Liberal intellectual Americans are familiar with south American folklore

the ones hat you were referring to, the majority of people, only listen to mainstream music like salsa, merengue, Luis Miguel, Juanes, Alejandro Sanz That is not native folklore, trust me

[♥♥PRINC3Ss♥♥]

Call Spanish Rock whatever you want. The fact remains there is still a style of music that receives that name. I don't care the classification as long as people are referring to the same thing and know what I'm talking about.

I was referring to Andean music, not salsa or merengue. Why would I talk about merengue when referring to South America?

It's not a style of music. It is just like saying Chilean rock, or Mainstream rock, or Underground rock - none of them have a specific artistic aesthetic.

In other words: Chilean Rock = Rock made in chile; it's true, it exist, but that fact doesn't make it a different genre all of the sudden. They still play the same rock many bands play around the world.
